Ottawa Citizen[6]

The Ottawa Citizen wrote that "Crack the Sky only relaxes its borrowing from Pink Floyd long enough to copy a few hooks and harmonies from the Beatles."[6] The Buffalo News called the album a "snappy, sleekly-produced set with its echoes of Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and, occasionally, Peter Gabriel."[7]
