On June 24, 2013, the band announced a 26-city summer-fall tour across North America to promote the record, beginning on August 3 at Chicago's House of Blues and finishing on October 23 in Vancouver.

[9] AllMusic's Heather Phares said, "MS MR concentrate on a sullen yet sultry mood for the bulk of Secondhand Rapture, and while that delivers several notable tracks -- "Fantasy" and "Head Is Not My Home" chief among them—at times it's almost too much.

[13] Pitchfork contributor Laura Snapes described the band's sound as "brooding, rhythmically strong pop songs that fall halfway between the poutiness of Lana Del Rey and the hyperactive fizz of Haim", but criticized their "obsessively curated" strategy", inconsistent lyrical approach and deviations from their sonic template of "deep, thunderous rumblings, celestial twinkling, foggy shrouds, and the sweet clarity of a pastel dawn".

[6] "Bones" was used in a promotional trailer for the third season of Game of Thrones in early 2013,[15] and in the "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted" episode of Pretty Little Liars, which aired February 12, 2013.

[17] All tracks are written by MS MR, additional production by Tom ElmhirstCredits adapted from the Secondhand Rapture booklet.
