Critical reception
Rolling Stone wrote that "singer-guitarist Chris Seefried steers along melodically facile, softly yelping rockers like 'Mascara' and 'Drive' - the album's showstopper - with velvety imprecision."[3] The Washington Post called it "a modestly appealing pop-rock release, boasting a few intriguing lyrics and more than its share of sturdy melodic hooks."[6]
