[3] "Slow Down" was released as the third single from the album on December 18, 2020, it also contains an interpolation from the guitar riff of 1979 By The Smashing Pumpkins.

[4] Sara London of RIFF Magazine gave the album a mixed review, writing that "they've got a long way to go to cultivate a voice of their own" and that "it seems more like they're siphoning the aura of others rather than creating their own" while also adding that "there are five singers and it's difficult to tell one from the other."

"[6] Matt Collar of AllMusic opined that the album "could use a few more uptempo songs to keep things from sounding samey" but felt that it speaks to the band's "deepening pop maturity.
