Author of the Ultra-Music music portal Vyacheslav Radionov witnessed the musicians' commitment to the Britpop wave, because the music reminded him of Coldplay, Travis, Starsailor, and Wilki, and also outlined the licked into shape sound of this well-produced and beautifully recorded album. Joy Tartaglia from the Ukrainian music portal music.com.ua stressed that a Travis-esque quality is exaggerated, because the band's sound, which is "a retelling of the elementary stories of British rock," is more akin to the Esthetic Education one, called attention to lead vocals à la Joakim Berg from Kent, while rated the CD at 5.0/10.
