The Skinny gave the album a moderately positive review and described the album's sound as "all Beach Boys-style rolling harmonies and full-blooded power-chord choruses." Another such review came from Loud and Quiet, who wrote, "rather than taking influence from the noughties pop-punk, they at times simply recreate it," and Bill Losey of the Ventura County Star called the album "fun, fun, fun."
