The album spent two weeks in the Australian charts in 1992, peaking at number 45.[4] Black Ticket Day was awarded an ARIA for the Best Independent Release and was a nominee for Best Album at the 1993 ARIA Music Awards.[5]
The AllMusic review by Roch Parisien awarded the album 2½ stars and states: "Even at his most gorgeously melodic, there's always a dark, mournful tinge to Kuepper's work. His ability to combine beauty with sadness and basic pop structures with extended improvisation can be mesmerizing."[3]
