The album features a continuation of the band's trademark post-punk sound of "screechy guitar sounds, hypnotic keyboard effects, robotic rhythms and monotone vocals."[2]

AllMusic[2]

AllMusic critic Mike DaRanco wrote "Suave, laid-back and borderline poppy (but not in the obnoxiously happy sort of way), Satisfact have the ability to accomplish all of this without coming close to boring the listener to death." DaRanco further stated: "They even manage to successfully incorporate a theremin on the track "Demonstration"—that alone is worth giving this record a good review."[2]

gollark: Really? They broke that?
gollark: This is why I run that sort of thing in a browser, which is fairly sandboxed.
gollark: Allegedly, Discord.
gollark: It randomly breaks for no apparent reason, seems to want to log me out if I open it in multiple tabs (browser version), and seems to just be a bloated monolith with way too many things.
gollark: It's an Electron app, so it ships yet another browser for no good reason.
