Jason D. Taylor from Allmusic described the lyrics as "scathing in their intensity yet brutally honest" and is an album which "displays much potential".[2] He compares their musical arrangements to post-hardcore band Thursday.[2] Pitchfork Media's Rob Mitchum calls the album a blend of "straightforward indie rock with some jagged post-punk hues for a rhythmic, powerful, incisive guitar-and-bass attack", and the band "distinguish themselves with some impressive songwriting.[1]
