Reception

The album was hounded by reviewers, with the Album Project giving the album a score of 2/5 and saying "the new Plain White T’s seem to be making music with the intention of not simply becoming a one hit wonder ("Hey There Delilah") and “making it big” but in the process have watered down everything."
