The album has garnered mostly positive reviews. The AU Review talks of their unique sound - "a sultry mix of folk inspired rock and roll, The First Dance is gentle but strong, holding an understated power, a subtle strength that many bands lack,".[11] Mac Easton at Soulshine speaks favourably, "The First Dance is a musical moment to be absolutely savoured."[12] "The album - anything but raucous - lures the listener to the same state felt on a relaxed yet contemplative summer's afternoon," says Drone Magazine.[13]

gollark: osmarks.net is non-evil and thus does not need the evil bit.
gollark: Yes, you would need some store-and-forward system.
gollark: No, they designed a slightly ridiculous alternative mode for extremely constrained situations.

gollark: Matrix actually has some experimental mode for 100bps channels, apparently.
