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" 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".Track listing
