In late December 2014, Stereogum named the album "one of their most anticipated albums of 2015," [9] and on January 4, 2015, Consequence of Sound named it "one of the 50 most anticipated albums of 2015." [4]

On January 9, 2015, Juliana Hatfield was featured on Nylon.com, who wrote that the upcoming album came off as "unforced, and with its sly lyrics and mega-hooky coffeehouse-grunge aesthetic." [10] When the album's single "Ordinary Guy" premiered on Consequence of Sound on January 14, 2015, the review stated "through distorted guitars and ferocious screams, Hatfield recalls all of the troubles that come with dating an addict. Though there’s no semblance of a happy ending to be found, Hatfield's honesty and poignancy are deeply romantic in their own right." [5]
