Critical reception

Tom Alford of counterculture praised the album, stating that it "bears the mark of quality" and that the band "suffuse their low-rent tales with superbly constructed musical themes, beautiful harmonies and a sense that they have been doing this far longer than they actually have." [1] David Poulain of Sound of Violence called it "a beautiful pop-rock album in the broad sense." [2]
