Critical reception

The Sunday Mirror wrote: "Quirky guitar spankers with funny shades and a Johnny Mathis fixation mix the fast ones with the slow ones for a golden blend of fine roast pop." The Independent thought that "with their huge guitar riffs and layers of harmonies, these Midlanders offer a refreshing take on classic 1980s American rawk with a tongue-in-cheek dab of Queen's pomposity and a nod to the power-pop excellence of Cheap Trick." AllMusic thought that "Silver Sun have created a disc that is a blatant throwback to mid-70s power-pop ... and while at times the formula works, it often falls flat."
