The Hamilton Spectator wrote that "hHead are now mining Goo Goo Dolls and Foo Fighters post-grunge territory, although the track 'Bellybutton' shows significant growth around a swirling bass line and jumping-bean rhythms." [10] The Edmonton Journal called Ozzy "a wildly varied album, shifting from muscular Sugar-y soundscapes to mid-tempo rockers with plenty of tempo and key changes." [8] The Winnipeg Sun labeled the album "12 mini-gems ... which are familiar and fun all at the same time." [9]
