Reception

Matt Rocke of ''Rhythms Music Magazine'' reviewed ''Yours to Keep'' and observes, " tis sadly stymied and self pitying... they've stuck too close to their knitting and produced a tea cosy. In the end it hurts to say, it's just not there." ''Atwood Magazine''s James Meadows claims the band "is coming to grips with the lifestyle that has both bestowed stardom and cursed them with many inner demons." The album's tracks deal with their issues. Specifically lead vocalist Frost admitted "he struggled with alcoholism coupled with a recent diagnosis of bipolar schizophrenia." Bass guitarist Cornwall and keyboardist Neurath described "the alcoholism and rehabilitation that the entire band underwent during their year off."
