Critical reception
editSpin deemed the album "a cool glass of lo-fi."[6] The Times Colonist called it "feedback-drenched guitar chords and some of the most pained, emotive vocals to come out of Seattle in years."[7]
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram listed the album as one of the best of 1998, considering it "modest, guitar-driven love songs."[8] The Seattle Times thought that "Polly Johnson's casual, understated drum playing should be studied by every rock drummer who equates 'loud' with 'good'."[9]
