AllMusic editor Jonathan Widran rated the album two and a half stars out of five and wrote that "the boys are banking on the fact that their old fans will want to hear the wonderful ensemble vocalizing even when the production is trying too hard to be post-millennial. If they want to keep the harmony thriving, next time they should try something more organic."[1]
