Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that the album "has the requisite guitar harmonics and occasional thrashing drum part, but mostly it is a pop record along the lines of Blink 182."[9] The Los Angeles Times called More Betterness! "the band’s best-regarded full-length."[10] CMJ New Music Report called it "intelligent punk rock" and a "refreshing change of pace."[1] The Washington Post called the album "energetic," but noted that all the songs "tend to sound the same."[11]
