Critical reception

The Indianapolis Star called the album "an eclectic mix of slacker rock, ska, tame punk and acoustic pop with faux hip-hop grooves."^[1] The Charleston Daily Mail wrote: "Owing as much to '80s New Wave pop as to the band's usual blitz of guitar-heavy, slacker-ska, the Maryland quartet has turned down the crunch and aimed for loftier goals: Songs based on melody rather than guitar riffs."^[11]
