Heaven Is Waiting has been poorly received by professional critics. Trouser Press called the album "further plodding nonsense". [3] AllMusic wrote, "Heavy on gloomy atmosphere [...] but short on memorable songs, Heaven Is Waiting failed to deliver on the promise Danse Society displayed early in their career", though commenting that the album "isn't without interest."

Interstate is the fifth album by American post-rock and instrumental rock band Pell Mell, released in 1995.
