Trouser Press wrote: "Frenetic guitar stylings in classic post-punk slapdash mode underpin most of the tracks; bassist Kevin Whelan, guitarists Greg Whelan and Charles Bissell and drummer Jerry MacDonnell take turns singing lead; the predominantly strained, nasal vocals render a lot of the lyrics indiscernible but lend a heartfelt charm."[6]The Morning Call wrote that the album shows "a musical depth unusual for a debut that has echoes of The Jam, XTC, The Cure and the Pixies."[7]
