Critical reception

The Calgary Herald wrote: "From Australia, basic pop music that owes a lot to what are allegedly the traditional sounds of Scotland." The Globe and Mail opined that "numbers such as the title cut and 'Ya ' offer the best fusion of traditional sounds and modern rock this side of The Waterboys." The Windsor Star concluded that, "like Men at Work, there's a hollowness about the music that keeps it from being anything more than mildly diverting."
