"If Dum Dum Girls don't shift away too much from their signature sound, they still provide a solid, satisfying variety of intensity and tempo. "Cult of Love" offers some nifty Cramps-like minor-key guitar work and appropriately creepy echo, while "Little Minx" is speedy post-punk, decorated with some thrillingly clean guitar lines to enhance the fuzz. "Under These Hands", a diatribe against uniforms and conformity, slows down the groove and adds acoustics to streamline the stomp. "Trouble" cuts the tempo in half, allowing the weeping tremolo guitar and I-IV-V progression to augment the darkly clever and surreal lyrics Dee Dee whispers so they settle in your soul".

"Split between uptempo rockers like "Little Minx" and "Evil Blooms," powerful and hooky midtempo tracks like "Rimbaud Eyes," and streaked-eyeliner ballads like "Under These Hands," the record has a dynamic flow and balance of sounds and moods that previous albums haven't been able to accomplish. It even finds space for a song that sounds like Garbage".

"Der er hverken meget fornyelse eller personlig substans over Dee Dees musikalske rejse tilbage til de solbeskinnede tressere. Cult of Love og Rimbaud Eyes bliver skudt af sted med glaseret twang-guitar og en monoton rytmebund, mens In The Wake of You rammer ligegyldighedens mur. Lost Boys må stå som højdepunktet, hvor en tungt svajende shoegazer-sound formår at skabe lidt uro. Dum Dum-pigerne får på Too True ikke tilføjet noget, der minder om personlighed, men ender i stedet som et overflødigt rocknostalgisk tilbageblik".
