Chart Performance

Reception

Critics gave differing opinions on the music and lyrics of Smile and Wave. When reviewing the album's music, the Calgary Herald said the album went for the "rock jugular from start to finish", though the Toronto Star called the Headstones' work "a murky, steaming cauldron of pungent rock 'n' roll".
Alternatively, reviewers gave mixed reviews for Hugh Dillon's performance. The Edmonton Journal said Dillon's personality was better than his singing, while the Ottawa Journal felt that Dillion's sarcastic lyrics were almost too much for the album.
