Reception

In his review, Allmusic editor Mark W.B. Allender praises Kerry Livgren's work as, "a spectacular collection of songs that highlight Livgren's prowess as a composer better than any of his previous releases and his ability as a performer free to explore musically with little restraint. Great guitar work abounds, and it is mystical, almost dreamy in places."
