Joe Rivers of Clash gave the album a 9 out of 10, writing, "The production is disarmingly joyous and, thanks to a predilection for early '90s dance, some of the tracks here are absolute bangers."[6] Jamie Milton of DIY gave the album 4 stars out of 5, stating that "There's a genuine love for giant hooks and zero-inhibition songwriting."[7]
