The Calgary Herald deemed the album "boring as hell."[6] Newsday wrote that "songs such as 'Here She Comes Again' and 'The Hedonist' spotlight Ash's no-holds-barred guitar style."[8] The Philadelphia Inquirer concluded that "'Bluebird', perhaps the only song of interest on this 10-cut disc, finds Ash masquerading as a goth Kenny Loggins."[7]
