The Tampa Bay Times wrote that the group's sound "is strictly reggae and their beats are funky and energetic, making it hard to find a low spot on the whole album."[8] The Indianapolis Star concluded that "what's missing on this disc are the bass-driven beats spliced with playfully funky horn riffs that are common elements of dance-hall style reggae."[7]
