Punknews called it, "DIY folk punk at its finest," while HeartattaCk Zine praised the lyrics: "Poetic anthems to a downtrodden life and the hope for a brighter tomorrow that inspire you to throw a wrench in the gears and enjoy what little of the natural world is left.

"[2] Razorcake Magazine, however, described it as "Sub-Pogues pseudo Celtic style balladeering," claiming that it "[never] really rocks out; it just plods along like a campfire singalong.

"[3] Shortly after its release, The Village Voice rated Erik Petersen/Mischief Brew "Best Anarchist Political Folk-Punk Singer" in their Best of NYC 2005 Issue.
