AllMusic	^[3]
Pitchfork	8.2/10^[4]

In a review for AllMusic, Tim Sendra wrote, "between Johnson's deadpan vocal delivery, his lovingly crafted persona, and his creepy and humorous lyrics, Lewis' less theatrical, open-hearted singing and writing, and Lunsford's steady musicianship, the band formed the kind of complementary bond most bands would kill to have. Their pieces fit together perfectly and their songs are short bursts of pop music that at their best come as close to perfection as anybody's ever have".^[3] Pitchfork's Brandon Stosuy called the curation "perfect" and "a great primer" with "no major oversights or head-scratching inclusions".^[4]
