Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that "this is far from a bad album--in fact, it's pretty good--it's just somewhat disappointing to see the band shrink away from the unabashed joyfulness they once made their own." [8] The Guardian wrote that "long-term fans will envelop themselves happily in the album's soft loveliness, despite a feeling that some more memorable moments would have been welcome." [9]
