Critical reception

The album was positively reviewed as being catchy and well-written, and was generally seen as a good introduction to the music of The Like Young.

A review by Cam Lindsay in Exclaim! called the tracks "catchy, ear-friendly power pop" with "monstrous riffs". [2] Dave Heaton of PopMatters described the album as a "quick ride but a fantastic one." He noted that fans of the Ziembas' previous endeavours would find the sound familiar but "in somewhat different musical clothes". [3] Angelo de Ieso II of In Music We Trust found the album "raw and uninhibited", although he was critical of some of the lyrics as "tangential". [4]
