The Press Democrat called the album "soothing psychedelia with an aggressive pop sheen." [9] The Los Angeles Times deemed it "a gloriously authentic effort, unpolished but full of emotion, energy and the sheer joy of playing." [10]

The Sacramento Bee considered it a "melodic, slashing and slightly funky rockabilly-urban blues hybrid." [11] The Fort Worth Star-Telegram concluded that "the sound is reminiscent of both the Dead (a little) and Moby Grape (a lot more) but still original." [12]
