The album has received a score of 81 on review aggregator Metacritic, based on reviews from six critics.[6] Will Hermes of Rolling Stone gave the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, and said that while "Kiss This" was the band's "first notable achievement, their second LP advances the notion that maybe ignoring the last 30 or 40 years of pop trends isn't the best approach".[8] Hermes highlighted the style of frontman Luke Spiller, calling "Ashes (Part 2)" "a cross between a Bat Out of Hell outtake and hairmetal Maroon 5". He also deemed "Body Talks" the "Kiss This" of the album, calling it "an over the top chant-pop anthem that's winning on first listen, irritating soon after", saying that even "if it fails to be more than the sum of its 'woo!'s, it's still effective, and gets bonus points for the remix with Kesha".[8] The song "Bulletproof Baby" is featured on EA Sports' video game NHL 19. The song "One Night Only" was used in a tribute video by the Pittsburgh Penguins to honor Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury in his first game at PPG Paints Arena since his trade in June of 2017.
