AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album a good review, describing it as "a pleasant dose of nostalgia."[4] The album was also criticized in several sources including The Independent as being "saturated in 'Auto-Tune'", turning the lead singers voices into "horrible metallic noises."[5]
