AllMusic[2]

Frontierland was nominated for an ARIA for the Best Independent Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 1997.[3]

The Allmusic review by Jack Rabid awarded the album 4 stars and states "here we find Kuepper more successfully tackling mood rock... a non-compromising, neo-ambient, warm soundtrack-like post-punk album".[2]

Musician Dave Graney said, "I don't think Ed Kuepper's Frontierland was lauded and respected as the major work of a great songwriter, player, and studio cat that it was."[4]
