Critical reception
The Daily Herald thought that "Danger Radio manipulates, squashes and expands synths to produce a high-energy beat fest with hooks that jump beyond catchy to addictive levels."

AllMusic wrote that "snappy guitar and synth hooks abound, resting atop percolating grooves that push even the poppiest, most melodic tunes into dance-floor territory."
