Matt Collar of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5,saying;"Australian rock outfit the Rubens' 2012 self-titled debut showcases the band's dark,melodic soulful pop. The album finds the band splitting the difference between a Baroque,piano-driven '60s pop approach and a contemporary,bass-heavy garage rock sound. Think Britain's Ed Harcourt meets the Black Keys."
