Writing for Paste, Grant Sharples enjoyed the record, calling it "an eight-song mixtape that barrels forward at a faster pace than a chaotic 200cc race in Mario Kart 8", he also stated that the record was a good way to get into the Emo genre, featuring many of the core characteristics of the genre.[5] The Alternative also gave a positive review of the tape, stating how it felt like the band was realizing their sound and coming into there own, stating that the album is about a conscious effort to construct your own reality. Summarize there thoughts as "using a barrage of riffs and brutal drumming to exorcise all of the evil oozing out of D.C."[6] Writing for CaliberTV, Matthew Abraham also enjoyed the album, describing the whole album as having a more warm and summer-esque than other releases, overall calling it a standout in the band's discography as a whole.[4]
