Critical reception

Template:Music ratings Trouser Press wrote, "Big Country took a surprising detour on the deliriously overproduced Peace in Our Time, which submerges its trademark sound in sanitized, synthesized musical settings ... [the] drastic recast feels like commercial desperation rather than artistic restlessness."<ref name="TP">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Chicago Tribune wrote that the album displays "a more gentle and subtle style and a crisper, more delicate sound".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
