In a retrospective review, AllMusic critic Brett Hartenbach wrote, "though it may contain Bruce Cockburn's usual mix of beautifully intricate acoustic work and pastoral mysticism, along with the occasional touches of anger and irony, continues the growth that was so evident on his last studio outing In the Falling Dark... it serves as another steppingstone to what would be the most impressive period of his career..."
