Critical reception

Cincinnati CityBeat called the album "a rollicking slab of head-turning, style-juggling wax," writing that "a hydrant's flow of ideas percolate themselves into skewed pop songs."[6] Exclaim! wrote that "with a disparate fusion of down and dirty guitar rock aesthetic, funky vibes and totally organic grooves, this NYC-based trio could well be the North American answer to the Beta Band."[7] The Washington Post wrote that Believo! "is cutting-edge cut-up pop that surprises—in songs like 'Get the Letter Out'—by daring to be tuneful."[8] The Stranger deemed it "a punchy, melody-packed blend of techno, new wave, and pop punk."[9]
