Reviews for the album have been generally very positive. The Digital Fix called the album "a phenomenal piece of work that has come out of absolutely nowhere", particularly praising Leon Stanford's voice and the band's ability to be ambitious to a grandiose extent yet personal and heartfelt at the same time. [1] Punktastic similarly praised Stanford's vocals and remarked that "There have been so many talented Welsh bands in the last few years and Tiger Please are among the best." [3] "[The album] contains not a single weak moment. From start to end this young Welsh five-piece offer a mighty, vibrant blend of muscularity and delicacy, mixing cinematic Gaslight Anthem-like storytelling with the gruff homebrewed rock vintage of Pearl Jam," wrote David McLaughlin of Kerrang! .
