Response

Critical response

Critical response to the album was mixed. Marc Hogan of Pitchfork commented that the album is "a lot to take in, but with its blend of live drumming, textural guitars, skittering electronics, and wistful harmonies, it's worth braving Jojo's, uh, storm". Robert Cooke of Drowned in Sound noted that "the hour-long main section of Jojo Burger Tempest is too hollow to be of much merit".[2] Spin magazine's Jon Young described the music as "hopscotching through styles with fidgety glee".[3]
