The Gazette called the album a "tame approximation" of the band's live sound.[11] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette labeled the album "alternative country," and deemed it "tight and conservative."[12] Writer Dean Budnick described the album as "an agreeable representation" of the band's "stylistic hodgepodge," and noted that, in some instances, it "does indeed achieve the state referenced by its title."[10]
