[2] In a feature on the band for Paste Devon Chodzin wrote that this album has "screeching earworms made the band unforgettable". [3] "Chores" was highlighted by The New York Times , where critic Lindsay Zoladz writing that the band knows "exactly how much noise belongs in their noise-pop" and calls Slocum's vocals charismatic.
