Critical reception

The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph noted that Reeves's "bass lines are easy, and with him as a distraction, Dogstar has gotten a little too much attention for its generic rock, which blends heavy Soul Asylum-style aggression with melodies that seem ripped out of the Gin Blossoms songbook."^[3]
