Peter Howell of the Toronto Star wrote that "A great groove doesn't always require a vocal to go with it, and kudos to this Guelph funk-rock combo for realizing it.

A remarkably strong album,"[7] while Derek Weiler of the Waterloo Record wrote that "Project Twinkle sees Guelph's favorite sons continuing to grow in huge strides since their 1991 inception.
