Critical reception

The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that the album "offers old-fashioned rock-and-roll with earnest, even patriotic principles that nonetheless rarely sounds strained or sentimental." The Globe and Mail deemed the album "as unpretentious as rock can get while still maintaining its spark." The Los Angeles Times noted that, "on paper, the lyrics look a bit corny, but the music and obvious passion lift them." The New York Times determined that "the music has a newfound toughness, with clanging guitars and explosive drums."
