Critical reception

edit

Trouser Press praised the album, writing that "Droge tips a retrospective nod to ’70s boy-rock on Necktie Second, updating the genre with a bit of humor on 'If You Don’t Love Me (I’ll Kill Myself)' and reviving the decade’s songwriting heyday with the slick folk-pop of 'Northern Bound Train.'”[5]
