Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "exceptionally good" and "pristine-sounding," writing that the producers add "an occasional light brush of cool jazz to the folky spines of the band’s witty and agile tunes."[1] Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Loaded with bright splashes of guitar and vocal harmonies, the five-member Scottish group Trash Can Sinatras’ debut album is breezy pop with a backbeat and mercifully little attitude."[4] The Los Angeles Times called the album "tasty but hardly gripping."[9] The Washington Post wrote that Cake "crafts elegant neo-pop soundscapes from little more than vocal harmonies and chiming semi-acoustic guitar riffs and strums."[10] Time called it "an excellent brand of pub pop: simple, insinuating melodies, lyrics with propulsive good humor."[11]
