"It opens with melodic folk-rock, then travels through time signature-shifting punk, ambient noise, acoustic singer/songwriter fare, and orchestral rock, all the while remaining as engaging as a suspense film. Although not for the casual music listener, the song and the album work not only because of Leonard's good melodic and dramatic instincts, but because he is equally charismatic with both quiet acoustic song and outraged, off-balance rock".

"Chamber pop asking all the right questions ... Most of these songs, when they finish, bustle out of a door and evaporate with no hooks left in your head. But played with a straightforward setup of guitars, drums and strings, their garage-y freshness make them a pleasure to fleetingly sit with - a little like the Chicago school of jazz-rock such as David Grubbs and Jim O'Rourke, with a Beefheartian energy that sometimes obscures the lyrical messages".
