The Canberra Times described the New Band as "a competent crew of old style blues-jazz orientated rock musicians" and suggested elements of the album were reminiscent of Colosseum and The Soft Machine. [6] The Manchester Evening News deemed the album "gritty rock-rhythm and blues." [7]
AllMusic called the album "the same unusual but intriguing blend of prog ambition and punk energy." [4]
