Reception
Spin described the album as "a pleasure, but not a revelation" and that "almost all the tunes are instantly catchy, if not especially inspired."
Spin praised the group's vocalist stating that "in lead singer Aimee Mann they may have a star. [...] she has her own look and a voice that's evocative, thought not yet distinctive enough to stake out its own turf in the crowded field of female vocalists."
