Reception edit

In The Sell-In, Craig Mathieson said the album was, "proof not only that Clouds could last the distance but that they ability to render depth and mystery into an accessible structure. Obvious on first listenings was the crispness of the drums and the razor-sharp talons of Easton's guitar work. Clouds were not only assured but great fun."[1]
