Critical reception

SF Weekly thought that "when the band's sound jells ... Of Montreal easily hold its own alongside such pop adventurers as Brian Wilson and Harry Nilsson."[6]

AllMusic wrote: "A continuation and maturation of the playfulness exhibited on earlier releases, Of Montreal create a brand of theatrical psychedelic pop that many of their '60s predecessors hinted at but only a few achieved."[2]
