Critical reception
Script error: No such module "Music ratings".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The St. Petersburg Times opined: "What seems at first play to aspire to be little more than a collection of richly produced but understated songs turns out to be a peculiar, ambitious combination of sweet instrumentation and perversely harsh lyrics."[4] The Boston Globe wrote that "there's mostly, hushed, seductive vocals coasting along lolling, mid-tempo rhythms and consistently ingratiating melodies: wave upon ever-shifting wave"; the paper named it one of the best albums of 1991.[5][6] The State determined that "Frazier Chorus may specialize in synth pop lite, but there's a certain atmospheric artiness that seduces the listener with its simplicity."[7]
