He also complimented the writing flexibility on the track "Diplomat" that showcases Tofte's mature lyrical approach.
"[8] Scott Fryberger of Jesus Freak Hideout called "Holiday" the highlight of album, praising the track for its emotional and thoughtful lyrics.
"[10] A mixed review came from Kaj Roth of Melodic as he stated, "Tofte needs better songs because only a few lift up his debut album Water Colours."
