Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly wrote that "the sheer heaviness of the old Swervies is much missed, but even on cruise control the band has a singular intensity, not to mention a sharp sense of songcraft."[6] MTV called the album "packed with odes to psychedelia and mesmerizing sonic displays that draw heavily from [Swervedriver's] post-punk past."[2] The Quietus praised the "warm, spacey psychedelia and classic pop hooks."[10] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that "the band's ability to strike a balance between restraint and reckless abandon is way more impressive than even the catchiest of melodies."[11]
