Guitarist Danny Beus said: "We wanted to make an album that throws you around a bit, like you are being washed around in the surf. We're five albums in now so we knew it should be a record that shows all the different sides to the band."[6]
At the 2024 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album.[7]
Emma Wilkes from Kerrang! wrote that "Contrary to Dune Rats' self-deprecating quip, this record doesn’t suck at all."[5]
Jack White from Clash said "Over the piece, this album is fantastic and you can easily compare this album to releases from the successful groups around the 1990s/2000s in this genre... Dune Rats definitely have carved out their own identity whilst remaining faithful to the pop/punk energy, and they keep the appeal of this style feeling fresh."[8] Matt Slocum from Rolling Stone Australia called the album "a left-step".[6]
Gary from Devolution Magazine said "Throughout the band's fifth full-length there is a youthful verve that harks back to those early Blink-182 or Green Day records, with plenty of humour, self-awareness and bouncing riffs."[9]
