The Rolling Stone review noted that the Roches were "not just entertaining but downright terrifying."[9] The New York Times wrote that "Maggie Roche in particular continues to write songs with droll, offbeat imagery and explicitly personal points of view."[10] The Globe and Mail praised "the anti-star sincerity in their voices and the fragile nature of their stacked vocals, which threaten to fall out of tune at the slightest provocation, but never do."[11]
