He also wrote: "There's an earnestness to what Great Gable do that makes them difficult not to find charming, with singer Alex Whiteman's from-the-hip reflections on love, loss and mental health feeling like an authentic snapshot of a period in the band's lives.
"[16] David Boyle of Radio 13 praised the album as a "coming-of-age body of work" and stated [it] takes you on a journey that is magical and mystical with enough surprises even for the most seasoned traveller to enjoy.
