AllMusic's David Jeffries stated that Nozuka "holds his own amongst his pop-chart-meets-coffee-house competition by playing up youth's pros (a heart still wide open, not jaded at all) and playing down the cons (no puppy love or irresponsible relationships here)."^[2] Jessica Lewis of Exclaim! wrote: "[T]he album is a good effort, but, at times, it feels a little stale or he pushes his voice too close to the Jason Mraz limit, but it's got some touching, soulful moments."^[4] Melodic's Pär Winberg commented that the record company tried to make Nozuka sound like Jeff Buckley on the first two tracks but noted that Nozuka is better off taking "a heartfelt sophisticated turn into a soul trip" on the rest of the album, singling out "Soulless Man" and "Heartless" as highlights.^[3]
