The Washington Post wrote: "Like Jeff Lynne, everything John Palumbo touches in the studio has a certain cleverness and sheen about it, and Dog City is about as crafty an album as you're likely to find on an independent label. Still, for all of Palumbo's production know-how,Dog City is only as good as the songs, which makes it a rather dicey bet."[5] The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph panned the forced topicality of the songs, also writing that "dim musical presentation doesn't exactly spruce up this LP's listenability, either."[6] The Rocky Mountain News noted that "Crack the Sky is guilty of one of rock 'n' roll's deadly sins: wrapping politically charged messages in dull, plodding music."[4]
