Critical reception
SF Weekly wrote that the album "hears the group as energized as ever for an urgent and powerful record proving that the group is still open to creative evolution."[7] LA Weekly called the album "engagingly soulful."[8] Uncut wrote that "much of this is rather pedestrian ska with blandly topical lyrics."[9]
