It received favorable reviews from critics and is the last album recorded with the lead singer Alanna McArdle before her departure from the band.

[1] In general, critics praised Peanut Butter as musically tighter, more self-aware, and more stylistically developed than their previous album, Weird Sister.

[2][3][4] Their distinctive blend of harsh guitar riffs and "bubblegum" vocal harmonies with unexpected chords and progressions is a key feature of this album.

[2][5] All tracks are written by Owen Williams, Alanna McArdle, George Nicholls, Max Warren, and David Sandford
