Emma Swann of DIY found it to be "not always an easy listen, but a consistently thrilling ride".^[2] Jake Crossland of Loud and Quiet praised the work, saying: "it's an assured debut full-length, committing to weird impulses and catchy choruses in equal measure, and even at 16 tracks it never feels unwieldy. Paris Texas make chaos look inviting – they're the eye of one very exciting storm".^[3] Sophie Williams of NME wrote: "a record, feels truly – and brilliantly – emblematic of the sharp, controlled chaos that Paris Texas have honed over a handful of previous EPs".^[4] Hayley Milross of The Line of Best Fit called the effort "a dazzling introduction to new fans, and a crystal clear familiarity for fans that have been here from the beginning".^[5] Kitty Empire of The Observer wrote: "the result is a full-length debut that is acerbic, vulnerable and swaggering all at the same time".^[6]
