Trouser Press called the album "a near-perfect convergence of observant, passionate words and jangly, surging tunes."[9] The Calgary Herald wrote that McLennan "sings with conviction [and] poetic insight."[7]
AllMusic wrote: "If there are hints of older rock styles here and there, McLennan's singing in particular still has the sharp, modern edge that helped make the Go-Betweens great, all while not losing his trademark warmth."[10]
All tracks written by Grant McLennan, except where noted.
