Reception
An October 2016 review in Rolling Stone gave the album three stars, praising the second half of the album where the band was "mixing their wholesome quirkiness with edgier hooks and Sleigh Bells-esque percussion" and also the second track "Do You Love Someone", calling it a "lung-blasting joy".[11]
