Critical reception

PopMatters called the album an "early high-water mark."[5] Seattle Weekly wrote that "[Singer Ben] Barnett basically scream-cries, but as terrible as that sounds, it comes off more like a courageous display of vulnerability than whining—as though he’s put his heart on a table in front of a ravenous pack of high-school bullies and ex-girlfriends."[6]
