Reviewer Chris Schulz gave the album a 3 out of 5 star rating for national news website Stuff.co.nz. Complimenting a variety of aspects of the album, including lead single "The Night" - stating it "has a danceable stomp reminiscent of Bloc Party's Flux". He also went on to give mention to the "hard-hitting anthem" "Drift Away", saying it is sure to become a "live favourite". Compliments were also cited for the "serious" side of the album, as "Hard to Watch You Go" gained praise with its "real conviction" as "they come across like latter-day Blink 182". Schulz goes on to say the album is "let down by a couple of tracks that sound like Goodnight Nurse are fighting for inclusion on the next soundtrack for Grey's Anatomy - "Lay With Me" and "I Need This" especially." Overall they were seen as "aiming admirably high on an impressive second effort".cite web|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/4479656a20855.html |title=Keep Me On Your Side - Goodnight Nurse|publisher=Stuff.co.nz|accessdate=2008-04-22]
