The Boston Herald described the songs as "wispy but not wimpy ballads" and compared his work to Neil Young.[2] City Pages argued that "The few strong characters here aren't easy to identify with (one is a purple anteater), but the theremin-addled pop paean "Space Age Mom" suggests Jurado's lyrical strength."[3] AllMusic regarded the album as "an impressive debut that was sadly overlooked by many people".[4]
