Reception

Josh Leeson from Newcastle Herald gave the album 3 out of 5 saying "While there are some cosmetic changes with loops and beats, Murray has stuck to his inoffensive brand of folk-rock. The title-track's melody is so closely inspired by The Animals' classic 'House of the Rising Sun' it could be considered a tribute, while 'Take Me Down' has an infectious gospel-style chorus and ranks among his best work. Camacho isn't going to propel Murray back to his halcyon days of the mid-2000s, but rusted on fans will enjoy the familiar embrace."[6]
