The album has been met with critical acclaim, with the Chicago Sun Times calling it "a joyous racket, a splintered confessional, an anxious thrill ride with the top down next to a fidgety poet who's crazy in love." [1] After appearing at South by Southwest in March, the band launched a U.S. headlining tour in support of the album.[2]
