Reception

Samantha Armatys from How Land Echoes said "It is contemplative and composed while still providing the psychedelic solos and detailed layers that make up the pair's signature sound."^[1]

Matt Dillion from Turntable Kitchen said "'Sentimental and Monday' is a melancholic tale of leaving things behind – although vocalist Timothy Carroll's voice helps soften the blow. Rustic and pastoral, it feels like a worn, tweed, three button vest with each note sung, and carries a sense of comfort and home with it throughout the song."^[3]
