The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that the album "offers old-fashioned rock-and-roll with earnest, even patriotic principles that nonetheless rarely sounds strained or sentimental." [6] The Globe and Mail deemed the album "as unpretentious as rock can get while still maintaining its spark." [7] The Los Angeles Times noted that, "on paper, the lyrics look a bit corny, but the music and obvious passion lift them." [8] The New York Times determined that "the music has a newfound toughness, with clanging guitars and explosive drums." [9]
All songs written by Scott Kempner, except "Drug Deal" written by the Del-Lords.
