Reception
The album received overall positive reviews from multiple professional music sites, all agreeing that the album was catchy and full of "vibrant, sugary synthpop" along with "thoughtful lyrics". However, New Release Tuesday and Jesus Freak Hideout both pointed out a low point of the album being Tofte's one use of "hell" as a profanity in the song "Diplomat".
