AllMusic called the album "a must for longtime fans, as well as anyone who appreciates intelligent and well-crafted pop/rock that maintains a sharp edge."[2]Entertainment Weekly wrote that "Keene's smart lyrics and considerable melodic sense are intact but dated — the album is like a flower fossilized in amber."[9]Washington City Paper wrote that the album "finds Keene fulfilling the romantic bard's duty to toy with emotional calamity; the result is a series of dispatches on the skimpy rewards of rekindling a relationship that was doomed from the get-go."[10]CMJ New Music Monthly called it "a solid and inviting, relentlessly tuneful record."[11]
