Reception

''RockRevolt Magazine'' wrote "Overall, I was surprised by this album for more reasons than one. Currie’s vocals are pretty damn strong on this album and a thing of beauty in their delivery of emotion and conviction on many of the tracks.

She shows a lot of range and depth on this album that I am sure will surprise quite a few people."
