Trouser Press wrote that "if you can get past the excess baggage ... the remaining tunes are among the quintet's best, with [Peter] Keen characteristically burying a few of his sharpest emotional daggers amidst some of the more outwardly placid tracks." Entertainment Weekly stated: "What could have been derivative is, instead, a glorious sonic whirlwind—one of the most bewitching rock albums of the year." The Dominion opined that "a lot of the songs are disappointing and heavy with a circus-like atmosphere."
