They also announced a European tour with supporters Weathers, Cemetery Sun and Lizzy Farrall.[10]
The album received mixed reviews from critics. Aliya Chaudhry from Kerrang! wrote "This fifth album sees the band experimenting even more and wearing their varied influences on their sleeves, whether it's R&B, hip-hop or 2000s pop." Izzi Sheldon of Distorted Sound stated "There could have been more range in this album, but the songs themselves are all enjoyable and include fun elements such as the wind and string instruments and the rap sections." In a more negative review, Alisdair Grace of DIY stated that the album "feels like you're stuck on the spinning teacups at the local circus."
