Pitchfork rated the album 5.4 out of ten and describing it as "clean and crisp where it should spin out, bubbly where it should be brash."[1]
Billboard referred to it as the duo's "latest day-glo furnace blast of joyous, raucous metal pop."[2]Paste Magazine assigned it a rating of 7.6 out of ten and called the album "a nimble late-career return to form that enlivens their signature loudness with a renewed sense of spirit."[7]Sputnikmusic commented "This thing throws itself into any number of saccharine earworms and goonish singalongs, its brash arena chords a good match for some of the duo's most energizing material to date."[3]
Heather Phares of AllMusic remarked "By giving equal time to headbanging and heartbreak, they've made an immensely satisfying album that's among their finest."[5]New Noise Magazine noted "On the 11-song album, the listener journeys through fun twists and turns with something new around each corner."[6]
The New York Times wrote in its review of the album, describing it as "a recombinant bash, slamming together selected elements of loud and louder styles — punk, metal, grunge, hip-hop, electro, glam, garage-rock,"[9] while The Skinny referred to it as "a return to the immediacy that made Sleigh Bells' name – but you wonder whether they had to sacrifice quite so much of the nuance of their last couple of albums in the process."[8]
