the band's forthcoming tour. Critical reception On its release, Neil McKay of Sunday Life praised The Buffalo Skinners as "a long overdue return to form". He wrote, "With the guitars right up front this strays close to hard rock territory, but the songs are as rousing and tuneful as in their early heyday." Adam Sweeting of The Guardian described the album as "quaintly old-fashioned, but performed with conviction". He added, "Big Country still write strident rock anthems with a tartan twist, and reflect on love, greed and blue-collar angst."
