Reception
AllMusic awarded the album with 3 stars and its review by Rob Theakston states: "No doubt taking sonic cues from Spyro Gyra and Steely Dan, the guys open the album with the mellow title track and the equally suggestive "Threesome" before stepping things up with the highly percussive "Bathsheba".[1]
