Reception

Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Mark Deming writing that "this band covers an impressive amount of ground in a short space" on this album, which is "highly promising and a lot of good, noisy fun".[2] Eve Boothroyd of Clash Music rated Super Snõõper an 8 out of 10, stating that "there is so much energy and joy in the tracks, they are so playfully constructed and imbued with non-pretentious humour, that it feels like a refreshing diversion from the production heavy and sometimes overly serious albums of the modern day".[6] Editors of Stereogum chose this as Album of the Week, with critic Emma Madden writing that songs "explode like a nailbomb and travel at a breakneck speed while retaining the precision of a Formula 1 driver" and praises the band's ability to mix genres including "garage rock, surf rock, alien synths, drum ‘n’ bass, field recordings, and samples lifted from a bodybuilding competition, the band's ecstatic musical chops and nonsensical changes are like picking up a fuzzy snake, then a shiny purple ball, then a box of magnets, then a choo-choo train, and discarding them within seconds".[7] Madison Bloom of Pitchfork Media reviewed "Pod" prior to the album release, calling the track "like a pep rally hijacked by cheerleaders" with "cramped, frantic, and a little bratty" energy.[4] Reviewing the full album for Pitchfork, Nina Corcoran scored it a 7.3 out of 10 and praised its "goofy, revved-up glory."[3]

Editors at Pitchfork Media included this in their list of the 37 best rock albums of 2023.[8] This was included in the 40 best independent albums of 2023 in BrooklynVegan's Indie Basement.[9]
