Reception

''Buffalo''s tracks were re-visited by ''LouderSound''s Geoff Barton when reviewing their career. "Suzie Sunshine" and "Dead Forever", showed Buffalo's "primordial potency still shines through. 'Suzie Sunshine',... and the title track have hooks so sharp they could snare a shiver of tiger sharks," "Sunrise Come My Way", "balances Tice’s gnawing holler with Baxter’s six-string savagery, all wrapped up in a pro-environment/anti-war message."
