Connect garnered generally unwelcomed reception from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called the album "a richer musical experience than the group's previous records", but wrote that the band was "still hampered a bit by their desperate desire to be taken seriously, but the back half of Connect, written largely on acoustic guitars, shows that their strength is not in attitude but rather in softer sonic textures."[1] At Alternative Press, Reed Fischer felt that "Connect grates far too often to live up to its name."[2] Connect sold 16,318 albums in its first week.[4]
