Critical response
The album was listed at No. 25 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 50 albums of 2012. The magazine stated that "the music is deceitfully lush, a snazzy cascade of rock, R&B and swing, with production as costly as a Santa Monica beach house."[20] They also named the song "Weather in My Head" the 21st best song of 2012.[21]
Fagen appeared on Late Show with David Letterman and performed "Weather in My Head" to promote the album.[22]
