Critical reception
Exclaim! wrote that "this third disc is a short one, but it's long on value, blending equal parts Hi-Test surf music and gentle, tasteful ballads." The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that "the hooks are inventive, insistent and sometimes even funny." The Detroit Metro Times called the band's cover of "My Heart Will Go On" "delightfully absurd."
