The Washington Post wrote that "there are some lovely tunes here ... but sometimes the thing's just too priggishly ethereal for its own good."[7] The Chicago Tribune determined that, "without becoming maudlin or sentimental, [Mark] Mulcahy's fragile tenor invests the past with pathos, the mundane with joy."[6] The Los Angeles Times opined that the band "plays soft-pedal sounds suited for introspective neo-folkies living on double espressos and tattered copies of Camus."[8]
