The album received a score of 73 out of 100 from Metacritic, indicating generally positive reviews. In a positive review, AllMusic wrote that "The Wallflowers don't abandon their identity as rock & roll classicists, they just now feel the freedom to mess around, and they've come up with one of their loosest, liveliest records that not-so-coincidentally is one of their best."
Nine years after the release of the record, Jakob Dylan told Uproxx that "it was a contentious record to make" and that tensions within the band led to it being a "disjointed" album. "Simply put, I don’t think the band was getting together that great when we got back together. So, you can hear it in the record," he said.[3]
