Critical reception


Upon its release, Malcolm Dome of Kerrang! called the album "wonderful" and praised Parr as "a glowing addition to the AOR ranks". He added, "If you can get to grips with a man who takes the best from Meat Loaf, Foreigner and Roxy Music, then you will understand my fever over Parr."
