The Press Democrat called the album "soothing psychedelia with an aggressive pop sheen." The Los Angeles Times deemed it "a gloriously authentic effort, unpolished but full of emotion, energy and the sheer joy of playing."

The Sacramento Bee considered it a "melodic, slashing and slightly funky rockabilly-urban blues hybrid." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram concluded that "the sound is reminiscent of both the Dead (a little) and Moby Grape (a lot more) but still original."
