Critical response

The album received mixed responses from critics reflected on Metacritic by its normalized score of 55 out of 100 based on 12 reviews. Jonathan Ringen of Rolling Stone called it "a catchier-than-chlamydia mix of power-pop hooks and effects-heavy riffage" but noted that "all the candy-coated excess might leave you feeling a little like Courtney Love after a heavy night". For Allmusic, Johnny Loftus referred to the songs as "sexy catch phrases around rhythms that have been heard before".
