Jessica Lynch from Rolling Stone Australia said "Dune Rats' latest tunes serve as the perfect positive antidote to pandemic-induced negativity. In what feels like their fastest, funnest and punniest Dune Rats album yet, the slew of party-starting bangers, including single 'What a Memorable Night', are clear dancefloor-fillers." [7]
Rachel Roberts from Kerrang said "Real Rare Whale is jam packed with nonsensical and fast tempo surf shack anthems". Roberts concluded saying, "By the time the record comes to a close with 'If This Is The End' it almost feels as though you're returning from a day of partying on the beach after drunkenly giggling with friends - your skin is sunkissed, your hair salty from the ocean's waves and your head is full of a euphoric, smile-induced headache. It's brilliant fun." [6]
