Critical reception

The Chicago Reader called the album "a bleak statement of emotional strain embodied by guitars that mewl with melancholy, bitterness, and unsure resolve."^[9] The Chicago Tribune noted that "the edgy guitar textures overlap with the understated melancholy in [Sooyoung] Park's voice and lyrics, a reflection of a tumultuous year that ended with a pressure-packed recording schedule."^[10] The Gazette stated: "Nothing new to this kind of ache-based grandeur, but Seam's languorous guitar noise serves its songs, and not the other way around."^[11]

Kenneth Johnson of the Charlotte Observer in a 3.5/4 stars review remarked, "That this Chicago by-the-way-of-Chapel Hill band is back in action is enough to rejoice. That it's managed to match the crystalline beauty of its gorgeous CD "The Problem With Me" is an enormous bonus..."Are You Driving Me Crazy" is a triumphant and most welcome return."^[2]
