AllMusic[5]

Trouser Press wrote that "the band explores artful pop terrain that is alternately lushly balladic and quirky in an almost avant-folk manner."[6] The Washington Post determined that "since Tsunami is better at texture than riffs or tunes, most of the songs offer few counterpoints to the basic dirge."[7] The Guardian concluded that "such wryly intelligent lyrics deserve a more dynamic setting."[8]

Nashville Scene, in 1997, panned "the junior-high-loser love poetry that Toomey crooned."[9]
