[3] Nick Krewen of the Hamilton Spectator gave the album a mixed review, writing that "Singer Jason Plumb has invented stronger pop melodies and waxed eloquently on the ecologically-correct End of the World and the image-conscious Michelangelo's Tummy, but the harmonies and arrangements dredge up too many Crowded House comparisons for comfort.
