| Pitchfork Media | 7.7/10 [3] |
Pitchfork described the album as "[missing] the masterful mark" but still "a solid effort—a step in a promising new direction" and "not so much power pop or even necessarily powerful pop—just powered up pop, all horns and echoes and toe-tapping parties", [3] while Paste Magazine called it, "Roderick's strongest work to date". [4]
Many reviews remark on Roderick's songwriting, calling him "a master storyteller", [5] as well as the album's stylistic continuity despite the band's lineup changes. [6] Keith Phipps, writing for the A.V. Club , said, "changing has meant growing into a band that's tougher to ignore than ever." [7]
All tracks are written by John Roderick.
