Critical reception
In a generally positive review, Clash Music concluded that "To some, RLC's flagrant flaunting of ambition can seem distasteful and, one thing's for certain, if you've your crosshairs trained on arenas then you'd better have the ammunition to back up the big time posturing. At times here they fall short – slingshot aimed at the moon short – but often their aim rings true. And on these occasions they are devastating."
