Reception

edit

Retro Pop Magazine gave the album three and a half stars out of five, noting that "some tracks hold up better than others" and that "some of the tracks are undercooked". However, it was noted that "the album excels, with the instrumentals and Pete’s vibrant vocals clean and fresh, like stepping back into the ‘90s."[5]
