Critical reception
AllMusic wrote: "Sweet, emotive ballads are half heartbreak, half hopeful resignation and showcase the strong songwriting that has a tendency to get buried in the more aggressive tracks." NPR wrote that "in 'The Pub', the words are alternately light and dark, commenting on barroom prophets and regulars, but the music is decidedly upbeat and energetic." The Chicago Reader thought that "on explosive rave-ups like 'The Crutch' or the pretty mug-clinking ditty 'The Last Night on Earth', the band's gleeful mix of tin whistle, violin, mandolin, piano, and rock instrumentation can turn the room of your choice into a raucous Irish pub."
