Reception

Eric Harvey of Pitchfork gave Cookies a rating of 8.1 out of 10.

He also stated that the record was devoted to "having fun at all costs." Stephanie Butler of PopMatters wrote that Cookies, "Sounds like these guys have been playing in crowded bars for gyrating, drunken art students for years. And that’s a very good thing." [12]
