The Stranger called the album "by far, the catchiest indie-pop record of 1999... With Pink Hearts, Yellow Moons, every day was summer." [5] CMJ New Music Report deemed it "a candy dish full of light, sugary pop songs that beg you to add your own la-la background vocals." [6] The Washington Post wrote that the songs "joyously reanimate the legacies of the Ronettes, the Archies and the Ramones." [7]
