Music critic Denise Sullivan of AllMusic called the album "a failed attempt at expanding his folk roots and augmenting it with the tricky production of Mitchell Froom, Case's simple songs were lost in the morass." [5] Trouser Press considered it "a gritty pop record on which [Case] plays a lot of piano, displays a John Lennon-ish voice and circles around the threat of romance as warily as an alley cat coming across a dead body." [2]
