Critical reception

MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide wrote that "the album, devoid of the occasional rawness that makes [Zumpano's] debut sound unfinished, is a masterpiece." [4] Trouser Press called the album "another absolute delight," writing that it displays "more ambition, confidence and intuitive skill." [9] Portland Mercury called it "a melancholy masterpiece that cemented Carl Newman's entrenchment in the mid-'60s piano pop cocktail lounge of the mind." [10]
