AllMusic | [1] |
In his retrospective review for Allmusic, critic Rob Caldwell wrote the album "was a move away from the somewhat dated, overblown sound of his previous World of Wonders, toward a leaner, more guitar-dominated sound... he takes pains to differentiate himself from right-wing Christianity and express his different view of the faith." [1]
All songs written by Bruce Cockburn.
The 2005 reissue also contains an acoustic version of If A Tree Falls.
