Paul Stump, in his 1997 book The Music's All that Matters: A History of Progressive Rock, said that T2 were a potential heavyweight in the progressive rock world before their career was cut short, and particularly said the track "Morning" is "a thrilling twenty-one-minute Progressive blues extravaganza".[3] Tim Senda of Allmusic likewise called the album "a glorious one-off that has earned its status as a lost classic". He lauded the enthusiasm of the playing, especially Keith Cross's guitar work, and said that the band's earnest experimentation is tempered by the exceptionally well-crafted songs and their ability to effectively emulate contemporaries from both the baroque pop and heavy metal realms.[2]
