Under the Radar	[4]

Narc reviewer Matt Young assigned the album a rating of 3.5, stating "The record feels communal yet sharpened by personal conviction too; one with a more focused lyrical palette that reflects modern dread but uses a more measured optimism."^[2]

David Pike of PopMatters referred to it as "a fabulously compelling questioning album, and the questions it's asking are not the ones you expect to hear from a pop album," rating it eight.^[3]

Also rating it eight, Under the Radar's Mark Moody noted it as "excellent and on par with Modern Nature's best" and "something of a twist given its straightforward musical approach, but nonetheless even that presents itself as a change in direction."^[4]
