The Calgary Herald wrote that "Squier's vocal abilities are so limited it's amazing his career has lasted for more than one album."[9] The Ottawa Citizen called the album "formula arena rock ... you've heard it all before."[11] The Chicago Tribune noted that "although Squier's fans might have grown up, new songs such as 'She Goes Down' and '(L-O-V-E) Four Letter Word' show that Squier hasn't."[10]
