The Globe and Mail wrote that "Coyne, like Van Morrison, can be repetitious and his emotional range seems limited at times—but, when it comes to anguish, he has few peers."[5]
"The themes of this LP are generally the hoary old ones of 'Alienation'; the difficulty (and in many cases the tacitly accepted impossibility) of communication, and the insubstantiality and hence inadequacy of 'Religion'. Dealt with here in the 'soul-baring' 60's singer-songwriter style; mostly stripped of imagery, and completely of metaphor, it's a bleak but uncompelling vision. Not to say a narrow one."
The title track dates from 1977 and Coyne's musical "England, England", and is described by him on the sleeve notes as covering "some of my ambivalent feelings about England and its vanished Empire."[6][7]
