Critical reception

The album was particularly well received by British music journalists. [1] In Shake Some Action: The Ultimate Power Pop Guide, John M. Borack writes "there's nary a false move to be found in At Home With Cherry Twister". [2] The New Zealand Herald said the album "boasts all the virtues of great power-pop". [3]

In a negative review, Jason Damas of AllMusic said of the album embodies "the D.I.Y. ethic of Ram-era McCartney while sounding like they spend lots of time listening to Beach Boys and Big Star records," but that it fails to "stumble across anything resembling a truly memorable hook." [4]
