The album has received positive to mixed reviews. The Independent raved the album as "a scintillating shot of roughneck rhythm and blues," by giving it a 4/5 star review.[2] Simon Harper of Clash Magazine said that "with such infectious energy and lyrics capturing the timeless topics of youth, really: what's not to like? Harmonica sales will soar". Mojo also gave the album a rave review, stating that "It's nigh on impossible not to succumb to the band's hurtling energy and panache" and that "only a corpse wouldn't holler 'go, cats, go!'"
