[1][2] Wet Leg was recorded in April 2021, before the band had even played live, with Speedy Wunderground's Dan Carey acting as main producer.

[18][20][21] "Chaise Longue" is a post-punk and garage punk song wherein Teasdale "intone[s] a series of non sequiturs – from suggestive Mean Girls quotes ('would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?')

[22][18] "Angelica" is a psychedelic pop and slacker rock song with "ethereal, dreamy harmonies amid distorted guitars" about "a woman miserably going through the motions at a party".

Teasdale sings about an ex who texts her when she appears in his wet dreams, as well as doing other increasingly ridiculous things like "exposing himself on the side of the road, climbing onto the hood of her car, licking the windshield.

[22][27] "Too Late Now" is an atmospheric, experimental post-rock and guitar pop song that features "a gratifyingly relatable self-doubt break, when the music drops out to allow Teasdale to document her existential angst as it spreads into the track she is currently performing".

Don’t be fooled by the prairie dresses and sweetly innocent vocal delivery, Rhian has bite and gleefully revels in a rude one liner.

Rachel Aroesti of The Guardian called Wet Leg a "collection of 90s and 00s-era indie that is by turns dreamy, lush, hooky and thunderous, and layered with lyrics saturated with millennial disaffection, anxiety and overwhelm.

"[22] The Independent writer Annabel Nugent said that "In vocals that vacillate between taunting melody and rage, Teasdale and Chambers speak to their twenty-something peers in a language they know: work is dull, dating apps are awful, parties aren’t as fun as they used to be, death is (thankfully?)

[37] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone said that "All told, Wet Leg are a couple of artsy rock & rollers who want too much, feel too much, hate too much, while chasing too many good times.

"[14] Paste contributor Eric R. Danton said "Their songwriting is tight, their lyrics are brazen, smart and amusing, and they are at ease shifting through various indie styles.
