Billboard praised the album, stating that "musically, the songs are bouncy and buoyant" and "this talented outfit could be one of the year’s breakthrough Christian acts." [2] John DiBiase of Jesus Freak Hideout stated that the music is "well-produced, only occasionally partially overproduced" as well as "fun, fast, furious, and attractive", although he criticized the "flat, emotionless" vocals. [1] John Daniels of Cross Rhythms stated that the album "straightforwardly put over a message but still maintain a quirky wit", noting that their sound was "reminiscent of The Bangles" [5]

Awards

The album was nominated for the Rock Album of the Year during the 33rd GMA Dove Awards. [3]
