It marked his third and final release of the year 2012, preceded by Slaughterhouse by the Ty Segall Band and Hair in collaboration with White Fence.

"[7] BBC critic James Skinner called the album "...an admirable effort to capture the myriad facets of [Ty Segall's] sound in one rambunctious 35-minute blast."

Skinner continues by stating, "Twins is a pile-driving yet playful record that loudly proclaims its influences, from Nirvana to The Doors, Hawkwind to The Stooges, Bowie to Lennon.

"[9] NME's Lisa Wright gave the album a 9 out of 10, claiming the record has "a reckless spirit...that hasn't been overanalyzed, but with an intense flurry of ideas from someone in the absolute prime of their creativity."

The positive remarks continue when Wright states, "[Twins] veers from psych-tinged, Syd Barrett wonks (on brilliant closer 'There Is No Tomorrow') to heavy glam riffs and sneering vocals (on highlights 'Inside Your Heart' and 'They Told Me Too') via straight-up garage-punk kicks ('You’re The Doctor'), all welded together with a mix of feckless hedonism and the careering energy of a freight train.
