Reception

Polly Weeks from Gloucester Live gave the album 6 out of 10 saying, "With so much material to get through, it's hard to judge this as one album. Suffice to say, if you were to listen to the entire album in one sitting you'd have to be an incredibly keen and patient Seekers fan. Individually the songs are of a good quality with strong harmonies." [2]
