Critical reception

PopMatters called the album "the band’s most cohesive and expansive LP."[11] Drowned in Sound wrote that "this record is at its best when it is direct, when [Carey] Mercer spews out gargled lines like a fountain, when it all clicks just so."[12] The Village Voice wrote that the album "pitches the band at their most prolific and their most accessible, thanks to frequent burn-down-the-bar mitzvah-organ solos and Mercer’s quavering death cries."[13]
