Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "A more deliberate pace allows Sage’s virtuoso playing extra opportunity to bob and weave, float and tickle, tease and torment; he introduces hints of quiet surf music, spaghetti westerns and other lonely, timeless sounds." Rough Guides deemed the album "a return to The Circle's jazzy style of neo-psychedelic thrash."

Rolling Stone wrote that Sage emphasizes "deep-pool echo and a punky, rainy-day melancholy that gives new meaning to the term power ballad."
