Background

Band member Oliver Leimbach told Stack Magazine:

"One of the major messages of this album [is] sort of not to take yourself too seriously. Do the things you love to do, but also, don't leave this world without making a good, positive effect. It's like this contradictory message… [which] I think fits well with a song like 'No Plans' that sounds so silly. But the song is talking to someone that's money-driven, and power-driven, and thinking about themselves. The silliness is a bit cheeky, and taking the piss out of that character."[7]

Sose Fuamoli from ABC called the album "a defining musical statement" Fuamoli said "It's Lime Cordiale, summarised in 14 tracks. It incorporates the spirit of fun that's driven [their] work to date, but sees them develop their songwriting in depth and nuance. Oli and Louis have always been self-aware when it comes to their lyricism - but here they've taken it up an extra notch."[10]

Ali Shutler from NME said "14 Steps to a Better You never lets go of the beating heart that's made relatable stars of Lime Cordiale."[9]
