The Globe and Mail called the album "guitar-driven rock (featuring a tastefully balanced acoustic/electric blend) that owes no small debt to the early work of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers."[8] The Chicago Tribune deemed it "one of the most intense, moving rock albums of the last year," writing that "the twin guitars of Mr. E Boy and Peter Wood and the rhythm section of Chris Carter (bass) and Jesse (drums) play with fire, turning [John] Easdale's existential lyrics into music that is both dreamlike and passionate."[9]
