Brian LaRue wrote in the New Haven Advocate: "Titles' debut full-length tumbles and clatters all over the place, offering 43 minutes of hazy, organized chaos. Imagine a weird indie rock time warp in which Pavement circa 1994 covered Karate circa 2000, with all the requisite lurchy rhythms, careening guitar leads, pregnant pauses and deadpan singing. Slowly, very slowly, Brad Amorosino's earthy guitar arpeggios unfold. His leads skitter about, his voice strains into semi-melodic desperation. The band plays as though it's about to fall over from fatigue. That creates a compelling atmosphere, and it makes the punchier songs that much more striking."
