Rick Anderson on Allmusic rated the album four stars out of five.[2] Anderson described the album as "the same tight, gleefully snotty bubblegum punk as what you heard on Eat My Heart Out, except maybe just a bit bigger and just a bit sonically fuller this time around – par for the course when a band like this starts to mature and gets the budget of an established label behind it."[2] Lana Cooper on website PopMatters awarded the album eight out of ten,[3] describing the band's sound as "the same as it ever was, with clever, catchy lyrics running around a track of straightforward, chugging pop-punk".[3] In a positive review, Bill James on website Monsters and Critics said that "the album as a whole is more than can be described in any one track"[4] and that it contained "fun, rollicking songs, often laced with a political barb and punk attitude to create a unique sound".[4]
