NPR deemed the album "quietly stunning."[7] The Guardian called it "unremittingly pleasant."[5] The Birmingham Post wrote that "the earnestness of 1998's Toy Balloon gives way here to some of Bert's finest singing and picking, bringing a loose, jazzy vitality to the title track, revisiting his roots on 'Caledonia' and producing an emotive reading of Robin Williamson's 'October Song'."[8]
