Critical reception The Los Angeles Times wrote: "One of the most underrated, overlooked and inaccurately compared to R.E.M. bands around doesn't offer much to change that on its fourth album." The Northwest Florida Daily News deemed the album "artsy rock 'n' roll" that "doesn't stray too far from homespun melodies and twangy guitars."
