Accolades
editPitchfork awarded the album a 7.9 and stated "The result is another fantastic step forward, though not without some growing pains."[1] The A.V. Club felt that "The Cleveland teenager slashes though catchy melodies like broken guitar-strings on his full-length debut as Cloud Nothings, as if mad dashes of melodicism grew on trees."[2] The New York Times said "His first full album, Cloud Nothings (Carpark)--11 songs in 28 minutes—raises the production values only slightly, cutting back distortion while layering on guitars. But it keeps the sound of a guy holed up with his instruments, concocting hooks and strumming retaliation for every slight."[3]
