Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Richie Unterberger praised singer Beverly Biven's "best, gutsiest vocal" on "High Flying Bird" but wrote of the album " try too hard to establish their versatility on this record, with fey renderings of standards like "Somewhere" and "Our Day Will Come" mixing uncomfortably with some fairly sturdy folk-rock."
