Jim Musser wrote in the Iowa City Press-Citizen, "...this Iowa City-based group actualizes -- even extrapolates -- that particular brand of lush, often-psychedelic dream-pop (along with sonic references to myriad early-`80s UK underground denizens plus sweet traces of country-rock) while maintaining a discernable group sound.... (Dan) Maloney`s graceful melodic gifts and intimate, breathy vocals simply never fail to hit the mark on this tour-de-force, and his gifted cohorts supply it all with a rich, shimmering soundscape. Bottom line, "Seeds of Devastation" is a triumph in every way."
