Reception
editPaul Verna, reviewing the album for Billboard, called the album's sound "as original as it is compelling", and described it as revelling "in the pop-art craft of the Brian Wilsons and Harry Nilssons while also bowing at the altar of late-'70s-era power pop".[1] Allmusic writer Daphne Carr gave the album two and a half stars out of five, describing it as combining "big power pop guitars with bizarrely childish lyrics for a sonically diverse yet immature effort".[2]
