AllMusic[1]

Trouser Press described the album as possessing "a smoother and more accessible sound" than the band's debut, "Strange Boutique", praising its melodies, as well as "lyrics that take sharp, light jabs at emotional traps and social mores."[2] AllMusic praised the album, writing that it "features more accomplished songwriting" than the group's previous work.[1]
