The Chicago Tribune wrote that "for the most part this solid New York City band has decided to rework ska ... blending more mainstream and mellow pop sounds and sensibilities with ska to create an entertaining variant that would seem to have a lot of pop-crossover potential." The Ottawa Citizen noted that "elements of reggae, hip hop, Motown and jazz squeeze into the band's stylistic ska mix of between-the-beat guitar chords, trombones and dime-store organ sounds."
