Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote: "The overly polite indie-label debut sidesteps the likely Carole King comparisons, mostly because the delicate melodies aren’t memorable enough and Beth Sorrentino hasn’t got that strong or distinctive a voice. (She is, however, a skillful pianist.)" The Washington Post wrote that the album "does have moments that are hopelessly coy, but such lively tracks as 'Lamp' and 'Ryan' give Sorrentino's dreaming a kick inside." The New York Times opined that the band "echoes the odd-angled melodies and enigmatic lyrics of Throwing Muses, the smoky voice of 10,000 Maniacs' Natalie Merchant, and the rolling arpeggios and choppy chords of Tori Amos; it also has the calm, determined eccentricity of those performers."
