Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Tim Sendra writing that the new line-up of the band without former songwriter Martin Carr "actually works pretty well" and this album is "a batch of songs that have all the hooks, energy, and breathless joy of the vintage Boos at their best".
