Critical reception

Spin wrote that the album "showcases a series of fizzy, blurry-eyed tracks: 'A Million Ways' combines dream-rock guitar riffs with sugary-sweet melodies, while the whimsically synthy 'Dreamer' glides into shoegaze territory with frontman Joe Haller’s lo-fi vocals at the forefront." The Saratogian wrote that "the band stays true to their sunny, optimistic name throughout, delivering a record full of hope, wonder, and undeniable warmth."
