Critical reception
[edit]AllMusic called the album "another very good collection of tight playing and propulsive instrumentals."[2] Exclaim! wrote: "Being one of the only groups to deservedly make it out of the mid-'90s surf revival, these guys continue to add influences and create a new style of their own that all but leaves surf behind."[6] Orlando Weekly wrote that "more than ever, the guitars are telling stories of adventure."[7]
