Critical reception
Alex Henderson of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying: "While some punk enthusiasts missed the old Kross, this decent though not outstanding album proves that the band was still worthwhile at the dawn of the '90s."[1] Greg Sandow of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a grade of B, saying: "Their uncanny '60s echoes have to be taken with a mountain or two of irony, which — take your choice — gives the album depth, or else weighs the group's cute little tunes down with more significance than they can easily bear."[2] Jeremy Clarke in Q Magazine described the album as a "potent neo-pop with bright melodies".[3]
