Contactmusic.com stated that the album "blends a mix of Blondie, Elastica, Sleeper, Echobelly and a little bit of The Bangles. The album explores sounds of indie rock and alternative rock, incorporating in some tracks a disco and electro style."[6]

The Sunday Times wrote, "Thrumming with hooks, propulsion and attitudinal lyrics, the band's songs are undoubtedly indebted (here a touch of Blondie and Lana Del Rey, there an echo of Lush and Garbage), but the quartet take these base metals and pound them into new forms. The antidote to manufactured, wipe-clean pop, Black Honey are playing the long game and sounding like winners."
