The album met with positive reviews from critics. Christine Sams from The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the album "Is an upbeat pop start to this album with Any Other Way and Carr's single, Feels Like Woah (with its touch of Bryan Adams) but it then veers into more gentle, playful territory with Hurricanes (delightful, with a distinct Jack Johnson feel). Further on, Light Years seems to come out of left field – dark and introspective. The mix keeps things interesting, with Carr emerging as a strong voice." She went on to give the album 8/10. Oz Music Scene stated that "Even the missteps are enjoyable to listen to. It’s just that when Wes gets it right, he sets the bar so high. This is a really solid debut, the kind that takes up permanent residence in your stereo and leaves you anticipating what comes next."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
