Reception
Marie Wood of Drowned In Sound gave the album an 8 out of 10 rating, writing: "The main draw of the album... is that like Daniel Johnston, Eels and Pinkerton-era Weezer, Hardy still strikes the golden balance of juxtaposing fear, despair and rejection with sugary pop melodies and a dry near arid sense of humour that sweetens the blow of the heavy subjects at hand making them highly relatable."[4]
