"Having long ago cast into exile the ghosts of prog rock, Fish ushers guitars and female singers to the fore," observed Classic Rock, "and blends his trademark poetry into the spacious but claustrophobic, almost Waitsian '3D', the blues rock weight of 'Long Cold Day' and the gathering dramas of 'Tiki 4', 'The Pilgrim's Address' and the slowly creeping 'Clock Moves Sideways'."[3]
