Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic William Ruhlman complimented the instrumental work, but wrote that in contrast to Ostroushko's previous albums, this album is "...a collection of songs with vocals, songs that treat a number of personal and political issues of obvious importance to the musician and which he treats at length... Ostroushko is as determined to display his instrumental dexterity on guitar and mandolin as he is to explore the lyrical subject matter... All of this makes for an ambitious, seriously intended album that sometimes comes off as preachy and self-important, sincere as it may be."
