Jon J. Eilenberg wrote in Wired: "Staccato guitar, dub bass, and syncopated drums build an exquisite tension on opener 'The Nocturnal House.' When Andrea Zollo weaves in her slightly behind-the-beat vocals, it's indie rock nirvana. Except for the tritely populist 'Parade,' Élan is an inventive, intricate treat" (5/06, p. 80).
