high-energy throughout the release. She praised the album's momentum, referring to it as "impeccable from start to finish, fitting together like a puzzle". She noted, "Set Your Goals aren't singing about how cute girls are or how much school sucks. They're tackling selling out, being force-fed religion, maintaining relationships with family and friends, and taking risks in life."

He noted that the band performs with enough urgency and passionate energy that they "remind tired ears what can be so great and engaging about simple punk music in the first place".
