Critical reception
Katie Wilson from Wiwibloggs said, "there isn’t one track on the album that has been rushed or overlooked [...] combining upbeat pop with more mellow and heartfelt sounds [...] While he sings in French, his style is all-American, bringing in one of those classically lyricless techno choruses that bears resemblance to One Republic, from across the pond.". "Opium" was noted specifically as a standout track.[7]
