Critical reception

The Daily Herald thought that "Danger Radio manipulates, squashes and expands synths to produce a high-energy beat fest with hooks that jump beyond catchy to addictive levels."[4]

AllMusic wrote that "snappy guitar and synth hooks abound, resting atop percolating grooves that push even the poppiest, most melodic tunes into dance-floor territory."[5]
