Paul Barbieri from The Music said "Combining '70s psychedelic soundscapes with blues, reggae and ska probably shouldn't work, but these boys make it seem effortless."[3]
Lauren Katulka from Sounds of Oz said "The songs are full of sexy grooves and infectious hooks" and "[it] is a little rough around the edges, but I think its rawness is endearing. It adds a sense of authenticity that's missing in many more polished recordings. "[4]
