Critical reception

Interior Hearts earned mixed to positive reviews. The Los Angeles Times wrote that the band's "sound still packs a punch ... The hard-rock style shows off [Kat] Arthur’s vocal talents in a powerful, uncompromising package."[3] Trouser Press called it "a likable but disappointing LP, with thin sound and more of a country/blues flavor."[5]
