When their only album was reissued on vinyl back in 2015, venerable alt-country 'zine No Depression gave it an enthusiastic review. Here is part of that article:
The songs are populated by the kinds of characters who are fun to have around until the inevitable trouble begins. The stories are rich and truthful and heart-filled, and the twangy, punky rock music proves the ideal vehicle for these tales of victorious tragedy and broken-down triumph.
The roots of the music is a natural out-growth of a love of the Byrds and local Columbus legends the Beetkeepers, and is informed by a love of the pop music of XTC and Prince, among others. Fueled by the songwriting prowess of Tim Easton, grounded by the heavy rhythm section of Aaron Rice on bass and Jovan Karcic on drums, and driven forward by the dense yet glimmering guitar of Freddie Free, the album's eleven songs fly by like landmarks along a country highway.
