  1. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    The album fares much better when Svenonius isn’t treating songs as diatribes

  2. 6.6 |   Pitchfork

    A modest pleasure and a fine addition to Svenonius' catalog

  3. 6.0 |   All Music

    Overall, it's a darker and more uneven album than the debut, but notwithstanding a few oddities, it's a respectable follow-up

  4. 6.0 |   Spin

  5. 4.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes
