Critical reception

Template:Music ratings The Chicago Tribune wrote: "Wire Train sounds too much like too many other modern rock outfits to be cited for iconoclastic genius and originality, but the California quartet does an exceptional job of delivering a variety of immediately accessible, funky pop hooks with a minimum of dull filler."[7] Miami New Times deemed the album "delightfully casual and smartly cool real rock."[8]

The State praised the "chunkier guitars and complex rhythms," writing that "this is Wire Train's most ambitious work to date."[9] The Capital Times opined that "the wittiness of the lyrics ('Jesus and Mohammed were just a couple of regular guys who made a lot of good friends after they died') is supported by consistently compelling music."[10]
