The New York Times called Psychic Hearts "an album of arty pop songs in which the vocals stand out more than the guitars."[13] The Guardian noted that "'Feathers' resembles both the Replacements and New Order."[14]
When Psychic Hearts was re-released in 2006, it was praised by critic Brandon Stosuy of Pitchfork.[15]
