Newsday wrote that the album "walks an oxymoronic line between the maudlin and the flip." [12] The Calgary Herald determined that the songs are "like confessions to an analyst, raw sensations and intelligent impressions spilling out on rivulets of guilt." [8]
The Windsor Star concluded that "there's no denying the power the Roches command as a group but individually as writers they have too many misses and not enough hits this time out." [11] The New York Times opined that "even the more whimsical numbers ... carry undertones of loss, loneliness and unease." [1]
The Roches were an American vocal trio of sisters Maggie, Terre and Suzzy Roche, from Park Ridge, New Jersey.
