Trouser Press wrote that "if you can get past the excess baggage ... the remaining tunes are among the quintet's best, with [Peter] Keen characteristically burying a few of his sharpest emotional daggers amidst some of the more outwardly placid tracks."{{cite web |title=Able Tasmans |url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/able-tasmans/ |website=Trouser Press |access-date=15 June 2022}} Entertainment Weekly stated: "What could have been derivative is, instead, a glorious sonic whirlwind—one of the most bewitching rock albums of the year." The Dominion opined that "a lot of the songs are disappointing and heavy with a circus-like atmosphere."{{cite news |last1=Alexander |first1=Mike |title=Store In A Cool Place — Able Tasmans |work=The Dominion |date=2 Mar 1996 |department=Features |page=25}}
