 Jessica Letkemann of "Billboard" was acceptive of the "delicious sundown grooves" of the quieter piece and "the Foos' usual soft-louder-loudest 'radio friendly unit shifters'" - referencing a track of Nirvana's "In Utero" – while considering "Home" the only disappointing track.Robert Christgau rated the album a B, describing it as a "candid attempt to recapitulate Nirvana Mark II's 10-year-old triumph, "The Colour and the Shape"".Henrik Holmgren of "Melodic "praised the production of the album and felt that Grohl singing "gets better and better with every record."
