Writing for Rolling Stone, Meredith Ochs praised the album for its "flashes of brilliance" and said that it probably marks the beginning of a successful career. She noted the progression from Tegan and Sara's previous "indie-folk" albums to a more "buoyant punk-pop" sound, inspired by 1980s pop. She cited "Where Does the Good Go" and "Speak Slow" as highlights.[4]

In a review for allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album a star rating of four out of five. He described it as ambitious and lively, and called it Tegan and Sara's "most satisfying album" yet. He noted a shift in sound from their previous recordings, with what he described as "a heavy dose of new wave sensibility". He commented that although "So Jealous" may be more accessible to a wider audience, Tegan and Sara may still be an "acquired taste".[1] Michael Endelman of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B+ rating and noted its new wave and rock influences.[2]

Marc Hogan of Pitchfork Media gave the album a negative review, rating it 3.4 out of 10.[3]
