[edit] Reception

Professional music critics have offered mostly negative reviews of the album.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine, senior critic of Allmusic, writes, "At no point does this band make sense ... it's gloriously bad, the kind of music that can only result when three talented musicians are contractually obligated to work with a wannabe singer who would be a laughing stock on a local level." (emphasis in original)[2]

Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone thought the album had a few bright spots, "but most of the tunes feel tired, if not retrograde: Opener 'It's On' could have come from Collective Soul, the ballads suck, and there are some dark, sub-Alice in Chains bangers."[3]

Even though there has been a lot of criticism, the album has gone platinum in Canada and has lots of positive reception on iTunes due to Lukas Rossi's huge fan base.
