The album received mixed to positive reviews, AllMusic writer Andy Kellman gave it 3/5 stars and wrote that although the members "embrace the decades-old bands that have inspired them to an unhealthy, cover band-like extent [...] the thing you cannot take away from the members of this Swedish group is that they know how to write and play songs". The album spawned five singles; the second single, "Living in America", reached number three on the Swedish Singles Chart.
