The Calgary Herald wrote that "XYZ churn out an effort as simple as A,B,C and the tunes are about as elementary too."[5] The Record opined that "what makes XYZ palatable is the almost total lack of pretense surrounding the group's words and music... For these guys, it is only rock-and-roll and there's much to like in the way they play it."[6]
