Critical reception

The Austin American-Statesman wrote that "these Brooklyn nerds are at their best when they keep it simple, as on 'Echoes', a twangy number that sounds like an outtake from the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo, or on 'Going Up North', a waltz instrumental with warm Mellotron tones and, uh, sleigh bells (which make several appearances throughout the record)."
