Critical reception

edit

Spin wrote that the band "deliver methodical, echoing, swoon-worthy numbers that display their brainiac tendencies."[4] The East Bay Express wrote that Minipop is "at its best on songs like 'Ask Me a Question,' where conventional pop spills over its walls like a river cresting a levee."[5] CMJ New Music Monthly stated that "the album's snappy dream pop and spacious songs never get old, fade or become dull."[6]
