Critical reception

The Morning Call called the album "full of clever, hook-laden and emotional tunes." [4] Spin , in an article about undeservedly obscure bands, wrote that This Conversation Is Ending Starting Right Now is "a minor classic of twentysomething despair." [6] The A.V. Club thought that the album lacked the "desperate declarations" of Day Three of My New Life . [7]
