Though the Album only sold 33,000 copies, Trip Shakespeare's "Across The Universe" was later hailed as a bold venture into the fringes of power pop. Despite Matt Wilson belief that is was not a success, numerous singles from the album, particularly "Turtledove", are regarded as highly progressive ventures into unconventional lyricism and accentuation. Never achieving the same heights of fame as the bands later formed by its members (such as Semisonic), Trip Shakespeare remains a cult hit among power pop enthusiasts, who often hail "Snow Days" as the greatest power pop ballad of all time.
