Reception

Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Fred Thomas writing that the band "sound rejuvenated and more excitable than ever" and this album "is energetic, inspired, and hits with one melodic hook after another, capturing the sound of a band overjoyed to be back and having the time of their lives". For Paste, Miranda Wollen scored this release a 7.6 out of 10, characterizing the work as "uncomplicated, comfortable and a grand tour of their quintessential, distinct style", writing that "the tracks are replete with brass, percussion and harmonics whose origins arise from the same hodgepodge of genres which made the Boo Radleys such a critical specimen in the first place" and "many of the songs sound a little silly, but in a fundamentally pleasurable way".
