Reception

Perspective
Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday and Everyday Is Stupid is the band’s most successful album in streaming services statistics and merchandise sales despite the lack of promotion.[2][11] Due to the design of the dachshund on the album cover, it has become a common tattoo design among fans and for merchandise.[12]
Writing for Discovery Music, Eddie Gibson explains that Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday And Everyday Is Stupid provides the strongest writing Clayton has shown on an album to date in imagery for torment over the heartbreak themes present on their first two albums. He speaks of how it is excepted that Crywank songs are to be sad, but this album takes it in new directions. "(...) They need Crywank to be on the verge of tears while they writes songs so they can feel the emotions in their pen. The audience doesn't ask for a phony singing uplifting songs, because that's not Crywank - they want simple, basic, sad music - and that’s exactly what Crywank delivers on their third album Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday And Everyday Is Stupid. (...) Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday And Everyday Is Stupid actually possesses Clayton's strongest song-writing yet. There's far more imagery on this album, where in the past Clayton would speak more literal."[10]
