Critical reception
The Guardian wrote that "packed with vividly coloured melodies, these songs have a luminous quality, but they also confuse the hypnotic with the repetitive, and richness of texture with gluttonous excess."[4] Exclaim! wrote that "the vibe throughout Can Cladders is too dreamily lethargic to sustain prolonged interest."[11] The Cleveland Scene wrote that the album "bubbles with a bossa-nova pulse, where cascading strings sidle up to a late-night beachside piano bar."[12]
