The album was generally well received, retaining a rating of 76 out of 100 on the review aggregating site Metacritic based on 13 reviews.[11] Absolute Punk gave a favorable review, stating, "Phantogram have put forth a collection of heady and stimulating songs primed for in-the-dark listening." However, another review from Prefix magazine gave it a 5.5 out of 10, recognizing the band's potential for making good music, but saying that the debut was "something of a stumble out of the gate."[12] BBC Music gave it an 8 out of 10.[8]
