At the ARIA Music Awards of 2008, the album was nominated for ARIA Award for Best World Music Album.

Reception
Dave Clarke from Readings said "This record is intrinsically linked to a film called Liyarn Ngarn, a project he, British actor Pete Postlethwaite and Aboriginal leader and elder Patrick Dodson worked on. There is a mournfulness to these songs; I think it is probably as close to the Negro-Spiritual music of the African-American people that we're going to get in Australia. Songs of repression, repossession and hope for a better life. Archie Roach has a beautiful rich voice but the thing that strikes me most when I listen to this is the pain in his voice. The voice of a man who has suffered much but continues his search for justice. And for peace."
