Critical reception

The album received positive reviews from critics. The Los Angeles Times wrote that the album's "fab pop tunes are as cheesily amusing as a dubbed karate movie. But when the kitsch clears, you have to wonder whether the band ... has anything of its own to offer." The Chicago Tribune praised "the kind of understated, seemingly casual performances that bespeak a band less interested in dazzle than emotional immediacy, with sturdy melodies, raggedly poignant vocals and brooding lyrics."
