Writing at BrooklynVegan, Amanda Hatfield praised the anti-capitalist lyrics on this release and stated that "it's a satisfying followup to [2021 album] Sucker Supreme without straying too far from what made that album so appealing".

[4] In Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield characterized this release as "definitely a portrait of North America in our moment, set in a culture where non-sponsored fun is just a rumor, where your phone is spying on you, where every small-time artist has to turn into a full-time huckster just to keep making their art" and compared the music to Juliana Hatfield, Minutemen, and that dog.

[5] Nate Sloan of Vulture called this release "something of a fresh start" and "a distinctly different artistic approach" for Tucker.
