Critical reception

Guitar Player noted that "traces of jazz, afro-pop, and the Starsky & Hutch theme seep through the layers of guitars, saxophones, and vibraphones." The Windsor Star praised the "Ventures-influenced surf tune, a funky tribute to deceased Nigerian musician/activist Fela Kuti and an idyllic folk tune that is propelled by Buck's mandolin."
