Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings The Washington Post called the album "a pleasant, tuneful collection of songs in Keene's familiar wistful mode."[3] The Gazette wrote that "it's a simple story Keene tells over the course of 12 tough rock songs: a broken heart, a summer night, limitless possibility thwarted by equally limitless romantic angst, all of it transformed into keening, melodic guitars, poignant hooks and evocative lyrics."[4]
