Christopher Hill of Record gave the album a rave review. He lauded the new band as having "solid, muscular power without a trace of bluster or plod; rhythm and nuance with nary a synthesizer fillip; a nourishing awareness of rock history without power pop or rockabilly affectation; accessibility without MOR superficiality." While he found the opening track "Life Takes a Life" too smooth and commercialized, he said the entirety of side two was brilliant, giving special praise to the irresistible rhythm and backbeat of "New Man", the yearning folk rock of "Send One, Care Of", and the tongue-in-cheek sexual tones of "Walk Like This". He was also impressed with Derek Blevins's "precise but inventive" drumming.[4]
