Critical reception



Otis Robinson's review for NME described the album as a "restless and electrifying" mix of genres including emo, hyperpop, trap, pop rock, and shoegaze. Alessandra Rincon of Ones to Watch wrote that the album sounded "abrasive, raw, and direct without sacrificing an ounce of the frivolous, spirited, and party-ready atmosphere at the core of it all." Writing for Dork, Martyn Young described the album as a "fevered rush through everything that makes his music thrilling" that "sounds abrasive, raw and direct but also sounds frivolous, ebullient and party-ready at the same time."
