 "Pitchfork" editor Katherine St. Asaph shared similar sentiments, commenting that several songs "suffer from brutally protracted lyrical metaphors that function as near-parodies of pop song form" and that the group establishes neither a "sonic identity, nor a lyrical identity beyond vague empowerment".She notes how the album "dutifully triangulates every trend and radio format of the past couple years" and praised the group for their distribution of vocals.
