Reception

At Clash , Harry Thorfinn-George rated this album a 6 out of 10, ending that this album "captures that the times are a-changing – luckily, it sounds pretty good". [2] Writing for Pitchfork , Harry Tafoya scored Hearth Room a 7.4 out of 10, calling this a reinvention for the band, as "the songs follow more conventional pop structures and don’t get derailed by verbal or musical non sequiturs". [1] In The Saturday Paper , Shaad D’Souza called Hearth Room and its predecessor Speed Run sister albums that "can make for a fun, bracing listen" and make up part of an "indie sleaze" scene responding to early 21st-century pop music.
