Critical reception
Template:Music ratings The New York Times opined that "the trio's close-harmony singing reaches an unprecedented richness and complexity."[1] The Christian Science Monitor deemed the album "a charmingly rough-cut LP full of whimsical folk."[3] Less supportative, The Boston Phoenix felt that "the Roches haven't yet become the rule-breaking interpreters of urban, bohemian, feminine experience they once promised to be — perhaps because they draw too often on a common adolescence and a shared conversation for their satire."[4]
The Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that the trio "regain some oddball focus from another oddball Fripp treatment."[5]
