We were still writing remotely, and I was like "Should I change the lyrics to a lot of these songs so that it's more reflective of what we're probably going to put out in the near future, or should I just keep the older lyrics that have nothing to do with the pandemic?"... I think I needed to use the lyrical aspect of this record as a therapeutic mechanism, which is what I use art for. I was just like "You know what? I'm just gonna keep them. I'm gonna do my past self that service."
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Mark Deming writing that it is punk rock for being "brave, smart, honest, and expressive".[2] Ian Cohen of Pitchfork Media rated this release a 6.8 out of 10, calling it a "solid album of old-school riffs and ripping solos", but criticizing the songwriting.[3] Editors of Stereogum chose this as Album of the Week, with critic Tom Breihan remarking that producer Matt Bayles helps the band sound heavy and "it feels so good to hear them doing what they do again".[4] In a June round-up of the best albums of 2023, the publication placed this at 18, with Rachel Brodsky calling it "the sound of a long running band doing exactly what it does best: earth-quaking riffs; tight, propulsive drumming; and Marissa Paternoster’s unmatched vocal quaver".[5]
Editors at AllMusic included this on their list of favorite rock albums of 2023.[6]
