Helen Metella of the Edmonton Journal praised the album's "stark but sturdy songs", writing that they were made special by the "throaty, elastic and daring performance of [lead singer Laura] Hubert, who can switch from dreamy folk (Separate) to deeply ironic C&W (Talkin') as quickly as most buskers can whip out the hat".[5]
