The album entered the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart in June 2009 and reached its peak position of number 30 in May 2010. [3]
Allmusic writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine compared the band's musical style as something between The White Stripes and Ben Folds Five, and remarked that the band leaned
a bit too heavily on the Folds part of the equation, loving his pounding eighth notes and clever-clever wit. [1]
Erlewine added that Crash Kings are most intriguing
...when they get loud, as they do on '14 Arms', or when they mimic the Whites' thud and caterwaul as they do on 'You Got Me' -- because that's when they don't seem like another politely pressed and pleasant piano pop band. [1]
