Reception
Reviewed in Rolling Stone Australia at the time of release, it was given a rating of three and a half from a possible five. McComb's first solo release is described as, "worth hanging around for." The review states the best moments, "are in its quieter gospel-inflected songs, such as the beautiful, textured, "Leaning"." Producer Nick Mainsbridge is said to have, "eschewed even the pretence of studio trickery."
Juice gave the album the same rating, but said the album, "often sounds amateurish. There has always been a sense with McComb that he is a non-musician who has somehow managed to make decent music." It concluded that the album would please, "critics and Triffids fans."
