Entertainment Weekly concluded that "power-pop enthusiasts should find plenty to admire in these melodically acute tunes, although true highlights are in short supply."[4] The Chicago Tribune praised the "ringing, buoyant guitar lines, sing-along choruses, thoughtful lyrics and a touch of melancholy that never grows depressed but keeps things from ever getting giddy."[3]
AllMusic wrote that the album is "a harder and leaner set than he usually offered up in his earlier days ... though the hallmarks of his style—moody but graceful melodies, a nimble and efficient rhythm section, and Keene's passionate vocals and subtly sublime guitar work—are still very much in evidence."[2]
