[13][14] Andy Baber of musicOMH described the song as "a blissful slice of psychedelic pop that nods to heavily towards the late ‘80s and early ‘90s and, in particular, Primal Scream’s Screamadelica".

[15] The second single, "One Great Song and I Could Change the World", was released on 30 April[5] and is featured on the soundtrack for football video game FIFA 16.

[1][2][18] Speaking to DIY, lead singer Austin Williams addressed the band's new direction, saying, "I feel like we’re all shaving our heads and going to war with this record.

"[19] Andy Baber of musicOMH wrote, "It is clear the new five-piece had a lot of fun experimenting with their sound and it is a drastic departure from Where The Heaven Are We.

"[12] In a more mixed review, Baber praised "To My Brother" and "One Great Song and I Could Change the World", but likened "Grand Affection" to "a theme tune for a terrible ‘80s video game" and called "Laniakea" "just plain irritating".
