| Rolling Stone |    [15] |
Rolling Stone described the album as monotonous and Marshmello's decision to not feature guests as disappointing, stating "every song sounds like it has already been pre-leased for use by energy-drink companies or extreme-sports squads." The album was given a 'one-and-a-half star' rating by the magazine. [15]
Tommy Monroe of Chorus.fm reviewed the album as "a filled, fun electronic club sounds that later become boring due to its monotony. He praised tracks "Flashbacks", "Tell Me" and "Together" for their feature but criticized "Paralyzed", and "Rooftops" for the lack of rhythm. [16]
