Reception

Allmusic writer John D. Luerssen noted various influences on the album, from The Beatles to Robyn Hitchcock.[1] Luerssen also praised the ballads "Firecracker Girls" and "Matchsticks Dance".[1] Writer Matt Fink, also of Allmusic, compared the album's lo-fi style and "off-the-wall songcraft" to Robert Pollard.[2] Tom Schulte of Skratch Magazine described a contrast between songs on the album, some which "bask in a harsh sun of feedback and distortion . . . while others display a sad and somewhat psychedelic mood."[3]
