Critical reaction

In 2014, Andrew Earles called the album "quintessential", and wrote that on it, Tiger Trap "packed each song with at least one pop hook." In 2015, The A.V. Club's Jason Heller wrote that the album "embodies twee", but added that "it’s also a forceful, potent, consummately melodic complement to the more strident sounds of riot grrrl that were raging around them at the time."
