People wrote: "MMJ clearly had the urge to get soulful on their fifth studio album. The smooth-grooving title tune, one of many standout cuts, evokes shades of early Hall & Oates — at least until they break into a midsong jam — while the danceable 'Highly Suspicious,' with its jerky rhythms, finds them bringing the funk. On both of these tracks, lead singer Jim James adopts a falsetto that owes much more to R&B than rock. But folk, country and psychedelic sounds also figure into the eclectic, multilayered mix" ("Alt-Rock: My Morning Jacket," 6/16/08, p. 44).
