Critical reception
The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "Lindsay and Scherer tame their clattering compositional talents just enough to create a series of attractively funky rock songs." The Washington Post deemed the album "samba-punk." The State determined that "songs like 'Copy Me', ' 'Privacy' and 'Love Overlap' are urban dance tunes that feature melodic choruses that seem especially smooth when sandwiched between steamy funk."
