| Vice | favorable[4] |
Phillip Allen of Louder Than War wrote, "this album will widen SJ Esau's audience and hopefully put him on the map next to fellow Bristol independent artists such as Olo Worms and Oliver Wilde and the truly inspiring homegrown talent that makes the place special."[1] He called the album "a triumph of the independent spirit that the city of Bristol produces so much of."[1]
