"[3] In an interview with Triple J, the duo further explained, "[with] our first batch of demos, we wanted to make a classic Aussie rock album, an AC/DC, Midnight Oil kind of thing" but the songs presented were not received well by their team.

"[11] Dylan Marshall from The AU Review said "Now We're Cookin' is Polish Club at their best, most melodic and entirely complete" adding "there's a sense of lightness to the album that opens up the band's more endearing and earnest side.

"[9] Alasdair Belling from Tone Deaf said "When it comes to their sound, Polish Club have always been outliers, strutting soul-injected rock and roll alongside the likes of Royal Blood, DZ Deathrays and countless other guitar-slinging bands.

Polish Club purists need fear not, the boys make many nods to their garage rock roots on tracks like the fuzzy 'Whack', pop-rock infused 'Just Talking' and the croony tongue-in-cheek closer 'Fuck Off & Die'.

"[10] Al Newstead from Triple J said "Simple lyrics, catchy melodies, accessible sounds - every track is designed to be easy to pick up and hard to put down, and never outlasts its welcome, saying what it needs to in a radio-friendly three-and-a-bit minutes and done.
