The Globe and Mail wrote that "the band sounds as if it has been mastered by the AOR sound as much as it has mastered it."[8] The Vancouver Sun called the album "prog-rock pop, with dumb lyrics."[9] The Ottawa Citizen deemed it "a sleepy wash of overdubs channeled into soft-sell protest music."[10] The Kingston Whig-Standard concluded that, "in going for a commercial sound, sometimes you end up sacrificing the soul of your music, and that seems to be what's happened here."[11]
