A review by Blurt says the band focuses on "emphasizing melody over crunch[,] with a propulsive rhythm section that never lets things get too wispy. Guitarist Tom Barrett has a typically mellifluous voice, but with a croon that sounds like Eric Matthews after taking acid, what other kind of music is he going to sing? Bassist Lysa Opfer chimes in from time to time as well, frosting a vocal blend heavy on the creamy side." [1] On the production New Jersey Stage says Fall is "solid throughout, thanks in part to Tom Beaujour helping to keep the band's endearing pop elements from drowning in waves of delicious noise." [4]
For the song "Winter is Why," BrooklynVegan describes it as "hooky, harmony-filled and voluminous while dodging specific reference points." [2] Fall was listed as a local worthy album in PopMatters ' list of The Best Shoegaze and Dream Pop of 2017. [5]
