Critical reception
Reviewing the album in The New Zealand Herald, Karl Puschmann wrote: "Each song is filled with little sonic details that are gradually revealed and melodies that take sudden turns to catch you off guard, but never sound anything less than completely natural and effortless." His verdict on the album was "Move aside Lennon/McCartney, we've got Finn/Finn."[8]
Singles
"Ghosts/Hold Her Close" and "Back to Life"[9] were released as singles before the release of the album.
