Critical reception

The Chicago Reader wrote that "the young quartet's reach [exceeded] their grasp: aiming for the orchestral splendor of 60s pop, they got a handful of flat, rinky-dink indie rock played on too many instruments."[3] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that "there's something really delightful about the idea that four people can create their own little Pet Sounds."[4]
