Allmusic says: "The album unspools like a greatest hits collection, as one great song follows another."Chamber of Hellos" is the big hit, an almost insanely catchy modern pop rocker that has the kind of chorus that's instantly recognizable after many decades. The jangle pop gem "Never" is instantly imprinted on the brain, "I'll Do You" is another great upbeat rocker with an insistent chorus, and "I Forget It All" is the more eager to please cousin of Modern English's "I Melt With You." If the record were nothing but ten of those types of songs, it might be known as one of the great fist-pumping, feel-good new wave albums. It's more than that though. There are a couple of slower, moodier songs that expand and enhance the impact of the record. "Slow Down"'s dubby bass lines, clicky guitars, and nicely disenchanted vocals and the Felt-like spiraling guitars of the darkly drawn "Like" show another side of the band, and do it well. In a Chamber may not get the same regard that other albums like it have received -- possibly because it was actually popular -- but there weren't many early '80s guitar pop albums with the hooks, sound, or appeal of Wire Train's debut."
