Exclaim! | 7/10 [6] |
Paste | 7.5/10 [7] |
Joshua Bote of Paste described the ten-track album as "comforting twee-pop that wrings out genuine pathos from Mxmtoon's internet celebrity." [7] Matt Yuyitung of Exclaim! wrote "[Maia] brings her wry sense of humour and diary-entry lyricism to her debut record, recalling the lo-fi relatability of Frankie Cosmos." [6] NPR's All Songs Considered wrote the album "straddles whimsy and earnest depth." [8]
All tracks are written by Mxmtoon and produced by Mxmtoon and Robin Skinner
