Kerrang! 's James Hickie, rating the album four out of five and comparing it with the band's previous releases, noted "It's hard to say, given the high standard they've always maintained, though the experience and depth it brings to a band who've never had a problem penning rock bangers may just edge it into first place." [7]

The album received a three-star rating from the Arts Desk, whose reviewer Thomas Green stated, "And there's a load more of Dinosaur Pile-Up's well-honed, easy-going good time. 12 songs in 40 minutes. Indeed, it picks up where they left off. One can only hope their fans do too." [5] Writing for Clash, Paulina Subia described it as "a joyous listen" and noted, "Even when it favors melancholy, each song is performed with a spirited energy that proves irresistible to sing along to."
