The BBC's Richard Banks praised "charming melodies, heart-melting harmonies and hazy lo-fi guitars" forming "an intoxicating alt-pop nectar", noting a formula little-changed from their first album. He also discerned a darker side beneath the "saccharine" surface.Pitchfork rated it 7.5/10, calling it "engaging and sharply-drawn", rejecting deeper meanings.IGN gave it 8.5/10.

Drowned in Sound scored it 5/10, saying "Joy Zipper are the type of band that think shrouding their songs in a sheet of sub-Kevin Shields drone, drugged-up affectations and bastardised Bacharach melodies makes their pedestrian pop sound urgent, vital and 'edgy.' It doesn't."Uncut called it a new My Bloody Valentine album in all but name, scoring it 4/10.
