Allmusic praised the album's style as "articulate and progressive power pop being played in a musical landscape otherwise littered with large chamber folk ensembles and over-processed electro-pop acts". They criticized the songs "Gamma Ray", "Summer Lies", "No Highway", and "Light the Fuse & Run" as being "uninspired", but concluded that the overall effort showed Andy Summers making a strong return to the same musical style as The Police.^[2]
