Reviewer William Ruhlmann of the music website AllMusic stated that people should be warned that "while the album was '96k/24-bit mastered from the original master tapes by Erick Labson,' Labson's mastering approach responds to the tendency toward preparing music for its compression into MP3 files for digital downloading more than for old-fashioned CD audiophile listening" going on to state that "Labson has adopted a 'push up all the faders' sound that is overly loud and poorly detailed; the late Bruce Fairbairn, original producer of these recordings, must be turning over in his grave."[1]
