Option wrote that the "instrumentation and production here are the stuff of which demos are made, and the promising, disparate numbers ... end up sounding sadly uniform."^[6] In 1996, The Village Voice called the album an "obscure [gem] of 1960s-inspired, punkily energetic, whispery songcraft".^[7]
