Setting the Paces received largely positive reviews from critics. Allmusic's Tim Sendra describes the album as having "debts owed to Pavement, Television Personalities, and the Banana Splits, and with a bouncy energy that makes the album very easy to like."[3] Pitchfork Media's David Bevan claims the songs give "way to a full-blast power chord workout and on to a chuggable chorus... At the center of it all is one gooey, delicious hook... Every song is irrepressible in its own right."[4]

gollark: VPNs are not really a fix.

gollark: Like how people would generally not want to go around going to the toilet in a glass cube or something.

gollark: Well, there are the pragmatic grounds, really, like that, and the more terminal-goal-y one of "this much information on people is kind of icky".

gollark: There's not really much more to say, to be honest.

gollark: Well, the NSA and other TLAs don't really affect people's lives much, regardless of how much abstract badness surrounds them.
