Critical reception

Barry Walters, of Rolling Stone, wrote that "even when the band is rocking full throttle, [Monique] Powell sings as if she's belting out the latest Disney ballad." ^[3] Entertainment Weekly thought that Powell's "bluesy bluster turns the familiar almost feral." ^[7]

For AllMusic, William Ruhlmann wrote that "Save Ferris may yet find its own place, but that is more likely to come through touring than through its records." ^[2]
