The album received generally favorable reviews. PopMatters cited a further advancement in writing and composition as "stronger, meatier, and much braver" than What the Night Said, but noted that some of the forays into pop-rock territory (specifically "Nineteen" and "It's OK If You Want To") were distracting from the overall flow of the record.[1]
