innocence that probably wouldn't be possible" if Jorgensen was "old enough to drink." She complimented the group for coming up with "the perfect emo record without being too cheesy or cliché". Kaj Roth ofMelodic said despite the members' ages, they made "quite a good debut", delivering "good songs in a good performance." AllMusic reviewer Kurt Morris said the release "showcases another band partaking in the propagation of the emo movement" with "slight variations have been made to the sound so as to distinguish them" from their peers. Though he clarified, "[t]hat's not to say that what's here isn't good", the usage of "hooks and some good lyrics are key and come in at the right places". Punknews.org staff member Megan said only the pre-release demos our the only highlights on the alum, with the rest being "a slow drudge of songs that don't really evoke any emotion." She criticized Jorgensen's voice as "often sound[ing] whiny and nasal", and since they are the "focal point of the music, they shouldn't sound so horrid. It's almost like nails on a chalkboard." LAS Magazine writer Jonah Flicker bluntly said the group "isn't doing anything new, and not much good either." As "excuses and half-assed endorsements a good record do not make. Let Armor for Sleep take a nice long nap." Exclaim! ranked it at number seven on their Best Punk Album of the year list. Track listing All songs written by Ben Jorgensen.
