AllMusic | [7] |
The Globe and Mail wrote that "the wrenching overdrive guitar, touches of synthetic coloring, pale vocals and abstract political/spiritual concerns bring to mind an odd combination of Neil Young and the Cult."[8] The Toronto Star called the album "punk music gone soft around the edges."[9] The Gazette deemed it "a sometimes confrontational sound couched in dreamlike atmospherics."[10]
