Critical reception
Now called the album "a goofy alt-rock amusement park ride of a record, with more hooks than a crocheting bee in a doily-happy nursing home and the gayest lyrics this side of Rufus Wainwright."[7] The Richmond Times-Dispatch called it "pipin' with hilarity and crunching power pop."[8] The Advocate called it the band's "most varied effort to date."[9]
