's writer, Alistair Lawrence, gave the album a three 'K' out of five, indicating a "Good" rating, and praised the combination of acoustic songs, a remix and a cover to prove they were still "brimming with enthusiasm and the seeds of new ideas". [4] Chris Jefferies in an otherwise positive review of the record for Virgin Music criticised Matt Davies' vocals on the final two acoustic songs writing, "There's no question that the frontman still has the range to pull off these songs, but without the full band backing, his vocals sound strained and completely lacking of the warmth that made earlier Funeral For A Friend records so touching."
