The album drew mostly positive reviews. Tom Moon, the critic for The Philadelphia Inquirer at the time, gave the album 2.5 stars out of four, writing that it is "slightly rough, slightly coy, slightly maniacal pop-rock, without the quirks or lyrical complexity of 10,000 Maniacs." [6] Rodger Mullen, in The Fayetteville Observer , called it "a sometimes-rocking, sometimes-reflective set of songs distinguished mainly by the soaring vocals of Diedre Steinschneider." [7]
