Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "Although it’s clear the two had the architecture of their simple sound down from the very beginning, it took their songwriting a few months to shed a weakness for conceptual gimmickry ('Granpa’s Heater,' 'T.S. Eliot') and find a reliable perch from which to fly."[4] Billboard called it "charming" but "spotty."[8]
