Critical reception

The A.V. Club called the album "the band’s crowning achievement." CMJ New Music Report called it "a noisy, post-punk bonfire." Vulture wrote that "[Knapsack's] songs were always a little too curiously shaped to break into the mainstream, but you can still hear the crossover potential in the sensitivity of their dynamics."^[2]
