John Bush of AllMusic says, "On their debut album, the sisters duo (born in Australia) play acoustic folk-pop with pleasing harmonies and good songwriting, akin to the Indigo Girls but not merely derivative." [2]

Mike Rimmer reviews the album for Cross Rhythms and gives it an 9 out of a possible 10 and writes, "Their debut album is confident, upbeat and well produced acoustically tinged pop showcasing Serene & Pearl's blend of pure harmonies which sweep and swoop throughout the album." [3]
