Rick Anderson of AllMusic gave the records two and a half stars out of five stating that despite the "rambling instrumentals that are slow [and] moody", it sometimes becomes "boring" and that the "band is going to have to, well, try harder".^[1] Scott Heisel of Punknews.org gave it three and a half stars stating that fans of Seam, Built To Spill, and Hum should buy the album. Heisel praised the track "Drunk In Carthage" (mistakenly spelled as "Drunken Carthage") stating it as a "jammy slowcore song" and "the song alone is worth the 8 bucks Asian Man will ask you for this compact disc".^[2]
