AllMusic
There are moments when the wispiness of Leigh Nash's voice isn't adequately offset by sturdier accompaniment, but overall this is a very winning album.

The meandering, whimsical, mewling lyrics are probably deliberately vague lest their ‘niche market’ is defined as Christian rock.

Although Kiss Me is far and away the best track here this record is still a super pleasant folk/jangle pop listen. Leigha Nash's vocals are what truly make this record sparkle, and imo she should be in the conversation with Dolores O'Riordan, Harriet Wheeler, and Hope Sandoval for best 90s female indie vocalist. I definitely wish most of these songs had more substance to them as it does make this record generally forgettable beyond its overall sound, but eh it's pleasant enough
