AllMusic reviewer Mark Deming wrote that "the '50s pop accents that were bubbling under the surface on their previous set began to rise to the surface, both in their music and in the wink-and-nudge camp of the album's artwork" and "the polished cool of its surfaces aren't as immediately inviting" as the band's previous album "but the record's abundant pleasures become clear upon repeated listenings, and its one of the group's best and most accomplished studio sets."[1]
