Reception

edit

For Clash, Will Fitzpatrick gave the album seven out of 10.[1] The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide gave the release 3.5 out of five stars, with reviewer Heather Phares, writing that the band sounds as good as ever and of this music, "all of this looking back never feels too bogged down by nostalgia, even when they revisit their earliest days".[2]
