The band's debut received a rave review in Option magazine.[1] Reviewing their second album, Tom Schulte of AllMusic wrote "Gritty, spare, and marked with B-movie sound bites, [Ultra-High-Frequency] is a flowing, stylized album of nostalgia and experimentation. It begs to be listened to throughout.[2]"
