Metacritic, a review-aggregating website, gives the album a combined rating of 75 out of 100 from 16 reviews, which is classified as a "generally favorable" reception. Only two of those were not in the "positive" range (70 or above), both judged at 40 ("mixed"). Mezzic gave the album 8.5 out of 10, saying "The follow-up to their debut A Mouthful has the band dive further into their freak-pop explorations, still striving to produce better music" and that "their sustainable collaboration has carried itself over to a promising sophomore album".[1] BBC Music called the album "Truly impressive".[2]
