| The Newcastle Herald | 3/5[1] |
Josh Leeson from The Newcastle Herald gave the album 3 out of 5, stating: "While there are some cosmetic changes with loops and beats, Murray has stuck to his inoffensive brand of folk-rock. The title-track's melody is so closely inspired by the Animals' classic 'House of the Rising Sun' it could be considered a tribute, while "Take Me Down" has an infectious gospel-style chorus and ranks among his best work. Camacho isn't going to propel Murray back to his halcyon days of the mid-2000s, but rusted on fans will enjoy the familiar embrace."[1]
