Reception

The National Tribune said "The stunning debut contains moments that revel in joy and nostalgia, yet dares to dwell on the real hardship and adversity that faces so many people living in the country and on the land" calling Johnston's sound as "modern and unique with driving guitars, pounding drums and his gravelly vocal centre stage".[3]
