Ben Salmon of online retailer Bandcamp chose this release as one of the best country music albums of August 2023, comparing the music to Neil Young and stating that it is full of "ragged roots rock, charming imperfections, and positive vibes".^[5] At BrooklynVegan, Andrew Sacher included this among a list of notable releases, writing that the music is like "listening to a band play in the middle of the woods, away from civilization and electricity" and comparing it to indie music artists Big Thief and Wednesday.^[6] Pitchfork editors included this album as one of the best releases of the week, calling it an album "filled with optimism"^[7] and a review by critic Abby Jones scored it a 7.6 out of 10, writing that it is "an alternative to nihilistic indifference: What if instead of dispassionately accepting disaster as inevitable, we use the bitter end as a motivator to make the best of what time is left?".^[1] Editors at Stereogum chose this for Album of the Week, with critic Chris DeVille writing that it is "the best Florry album by a wide margin" and that the album "saunters with a chemistry and charisma previously unheard on Florry records, shifting the project’s vibe from confessional to communal".^[8]
