The album received mixed to positive reviews. A reviewer from MusicOMH favorably compared the album to the work of folk rock musician Jeff Buckley, saying that Owen had been "clearly listening" to his music, and that listeners would realise this if they would remove their preconceptions about Owen.

The album peaked at number 59 on the UK Albums Chart, and stayed in the charts for only one week, with sales of 17,805 copies sold in the UK. In Scotland, the album charted at number 46.
