Entertainment WeeklyB[12]
(The New) Rolling Stone Album Guide[13]

Entertainment Weekly wrote that the "mix of covers, remakes of [Dale's] '60s surf hits, and ecologically minded new material feels thin and lacks the cohesiveness of previous efforts."[12] The Vancouver Sun stated: "Playing speedy as ever, Dale returns to the land he founded: a mix of eastern-tinged influences (his dad was Lebanese) rolled up in surf wax and thrown into the wide-open waves."[14] The Calgary Herald concluded: "From his raunchy title track and the bongo-beat hipness of 'Fever' to his twang reworking of Jimi Hendrix's 'Third Stone From The Sun', he embodies rock guitar cool."[10]

AllMusic wrote that "Dale only manages to capture his manic energy on the cover version of Jimi Hendrix' 'Third Stone From the Sun'."[9]
