Critical reception edit

Exclaim! wrote that the album "proves exactly why this quartet is hailed one of the originators of the SoCal pop-punk sound that has been appropriated by so many other bands."[5] Skiing deemed it "California hardcore as bright and perfect as the halfpipe dreams ricocheting between the ears of untold thousands of high schoolers."[6]
