Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "another very good collection of tight playing and propulsive instrumentals." Exclaim! wrote: "Being one of the only groups to deservedly make it out of the mid-'90s surf revival, these guys continue to add influences and create a new style of their own that all but leaves surf behind." Orlando Weekly wrote that "more than ever, the guitars are telling stories of adventure."
