Joe Pelone of Punknews rated the album three stars and stated, "The album isn't perfect--a few of the songs meander--but it's still a modest success all the same."[1] PopMatters assigned it a rating of six out of ten, noting that it has "a lush, layered vibe, with doubled vocals and rich reverb-dappled tones that breed a more intimate experience than the post-Jawbreaker rock of their main gig."[2]
