The album received generally positive reviews. Reilly's singing on several tracks was described as regrettable by Trouser Press,[3] while Michael Edwards, writing for Exclaim! characterised the album as covering a lot of ground, with "intricately orchestrated instrumentals" as well as "delicate songs".[8]
