The Guardian reporter Alex Marshall compared it favorably to some national anthems, suggesting that it was reminiscent of the music of the Disney film Mary Poppins.

Em'ralds of the sea, Where beaches bright with coral sand And trade winds bless our native land.

All hail our Virgin Islands, Bathed in waters blue, We give our loyalty, Full to thee, And pledge allegiance forever true.

To thee our Virgin Islands, Loving voices raise A song in praise of brotherhood, Where right makes might to fight for good.

God bless our Virgin Islands, Humbly now we pray, Where all mankind can join today In friendly warmth of work and play.
