Dan Macintosh (CCM Magazine)

Dan Macintosh of CCM gave it a 4 out of 5 stars, stating "Yes, this talented Denver band in part takes on the gun lobby with "Renegades" and various religious right positions on "While Supplies Last", but there are also just as many enjoyable and enjoyably apolitical tracks on this group's strong new release, as well."[4]

Josh Matejka said "The album's lead single, "So We Sing," succeeds as perhaps the record's best example of a pure pop song, extolling the virtues of art as protest while tapping into the defiance that made the band so relatable to young audiences in the 1990s."[9]

"As the coffee soaked into my brain cells, it dawned on me that I don't deserve such a fine platter of ska tunes" reviewed John Bear of Westword.[5]
