Reception
MTV said "The album feels like a timeline of the band's progressions as both artists and songwriters, as they seamlessly perform a tightrope walk between the raw and the refined." adding "The band have completely transported the listener to a magical evening that happened months ago, yet it still feels fresh, exciting and like they're right there in front of you."
