Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "very highbrow in its pop sensibilities and general college rock aura." [1] Exclaim! wrote that "the greatest testament to Feuerstack's accomplishment here is how rarely the urge strikes to engage in a track by track analysis - each 30-minute album works entirely on its own." [2]
