Critics described the record and band as "the musical equivalent of comfort food. The rock band’s sound is familiar and accessible without a hint of pretense.”.[3] As the band toured the record, the live shows were said to be high energy and interactive fun for all involved. One reviewer said: "Vintage Blue is the kind of rock band I like to see, because they just wanna have a good time. There’s no pretensions about putting on a perfect show. It’s much more important that everyone have fun and leave smiling.".[4]
