Critical reception
Template:Album ratings The Calgary Herald wrote: "From Australia, basic pop music that owes a lot to what are allegedly the traditional sounds of Scotland."[2] The Globe and Mail opined that "numbers such as the title cut and 'Ya (Rest in Peace)' offer the best fusion of traditional sounds and modern rock this side of The Waterboys."[3] The Windsor Star concluded that, "like Men at Work, there's a hollowness about the music that keeps it from being anything more than mildly diverting."[4]
