Rolling Stone - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Singer-songwriter Mitski Miyawaki's breakthrough LP bubbles with poignant black humor."

CMJ - "Its atmosphere is delicate, but stoic; its lyrics are strong, but filled with desire; its imagery is both romantic and macabre."

Pitchfork (Website) - "[I]nventive and resourceful in a '90s-indie way. The choruses here soar like power pop, but are subdued by tempo and fidelity, while cheap drum machines are deployed as much for their tone as their rhythm."
