Critical reception
The Calgary Herald wrote that "Squier's vocal abilities are so limited it's amazing his career has lasted for more than one album." The Ottawa Citizen called the album "formula arena rock ... you've heard it all before." 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."
