Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave the album 3 and a half stars out of 5,positively saying,"Hello Fascination won't top any year-end critics polls,but while it is playing,the goofy lyrics,bubblegum snappy melodies,and overall feeling of joyousness will make you feel good. What could be better than that?" [17] However,Drew Beringer of AbsolutePunk gave the album a highly negative review,saying that "Breathe Carolina will sell a lot of copies,so good for them,but that doesn’t make this band any less despicable to self-respecting fans of music". [16]
The album debuted at No. 43 on the Billboard 200 and sold 11,000 copies in its first week. [18] The album sold over 60,000 copies in the US to date. [19]
