Thomas H Green of The Arts Desk found the album to be "no worse – and may even be slightly better – than its predecessor", and wrote that its "best tracks have a zest and bounce that's contagious". Green concluded that the duo "adhere to a cool deep house sensibility, deeply flavoured with UK bass culture, never wandering into the crass corridors of EDM". [2] Hannah Mylrea of NME commented that the album "picks up exactly where their debut Sirens left off" with "a string of catchy tunes, though it's also a record of musical experimentation", highlighting "Hear That", "One Last Song" and "Night Drive".
