Writing for Allmusic, critic Thom Jurek praised some of the individual tracks, but wrote of the album as a whole; "... while See sounded more like an updated version of the Rascals of old, the consistency of attack wasn't there and there are several simply dodgy cuts, making the album—as an album—a disappointment."
