Reception

Eric Harvey of Pitchfork gave Cookies a rating of 8.1 out of 10.^[3] He stated the record was the sound of, "a reveler reinvigorated, shoved into a decidedly larger public eye and loving every minute of it in his own way." He also stated that the record was devoted to "having fun at all costs." Stephanie Butler of PopMatters wrote that Cookies, "Sounds like these guys have been playing in crowded bars for gyrating, drunken art students for years. And that’s a very good thing."^[4]
