The Calgary Herald noted that "neo-psychedelic guitar-grunge swirls beneath the surface of each song."[4] The San Diego Union-Tribune concluded that the band "concocted an irresistible brew of tough-guy guitars, sweet vocals and thoughtful lyrics that sounds like a cross between Free, the Babys and Crowded House."[5]
