AllMusic	[3]

The Washington Post wrote that "the arrangements often possess a haunting guitar-woven beauty or nervous rhythmic energy that plays tricks with time, making the hour-long disc appear half as long."^[4] MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide, however, panned the album, listing it as one to avoid.^[5]
