The album received mixed reviews. Most reviewers saw the loss of the band's former frontman as pivotal, describing the band's new sound as smooth but lacking in passion. Mischa Pearlman of NME commented, "...this shift in direction sparkles with style and heart. Largely, though, the verve that made their debut exciting is, unfortunately, AWOL." There were positive comments about some tracks, such as "Middle Sea" and "Lose My Breath", which Ian Cohen of Pitchfork claimed, "boast the same kind of fuzzed-up leads that made the guitars of “Georgia” or “Get Away” as easy to sing along with as the vocals," but had "little of their frazzled energy", and accused singer Max Bloom and producer Chris Coady of trying to, "smooth out songs that lacked edge to begin with". Tim Sendra of Allmusic finished his review by saying, "All this record does is break the heart of anyone who fell in love with Yuck because of [their debut] album, and that's a real shame."
