Reception

The album received decidedly mixed reviews, with the most positive review being an A- from Robert Christgau and the most negative being a half-star out of five from Slant Magazine, who wrote that the album was "a candygram from the heart of a giddy, geeky romantic who has somehow had his rose-tinted frames surgically grafted to his face."
