The British newspaper The Guardian named the album "Pop CD of the week" in January 1996.[4] In their review, the album was described as an "unexpected minor triumph".[4] The reviewer, Dan Glaister, further noted that "underlying all the hurt and anger" was also "an overwhelming honesty and humanity" and that the album "succeeds in imparting enormous positivity".[4] Glaister singled out the track "Kurushi" as a "haunting, gentle call to a loved one" and described "Goodbye, My Love" as a "mournful, jolly little ballad a la McCartney".[4]

Bruce Hainley of art magazine Artforum International felt that the album "affirms her amazing talents as a musician" and described it as "an uncompromising blend of Conceptual art and rock 'n' roll" with Yoko using a "wide range of vocals [...] from the aggressive to the sultry to fusion".[3] He also felt that it was "hard to imagine a better place to start for those unfamiliar with her work".[3] Hainley also praised the remix album Rising Mixes, which "[showed] the continuing reach of Ono's influence on rock since the '70s".[3] He described the bonus song "Franklin Summer" as "hypnotic".[3]
