The Toronto Star wrote that the album "returns to the punk-tinged sounds and loose feel of the Inspirals' debut, Life."[15] The Chicago Tribune opined that "singer Tom Hingley bogs things down with his syrupy, overwrought vocals."[12] The Los Angeles Times noted the "reverb-heavy guitars, grinding organs and brooding lyrics."[13]
