Jason Ankeny of AllMusic declared the album to be "a kind of apotheosis of '90s-era girl-punk", finding the album combined the "emotional intensity of Sleater-Kinney, the melodic aggression of Team Dresch, and the sheer exuberance of Cub, yet their best trick of all is that they sound like an absolute original." [1] Ankeny noted that Elizabeth Elmore "a gifted composer, an acute lyricist, and a nakedly honest vocalist", concluding that the album "is at heart a rock & roll album in the classic sense: cathartic, impassioned, and vividly alive." [1] Stephanie Zacharek of Spin also noted the albums debt to riot grrl music with its "explosive emotional intensity", finding the album "nervy, hopelessly seductive and hell-bent for trouble and heartache, The Glass Intact peers at the world through a very dark lens - but the sun, with its menace and warmth is never far from view.
