The Los Angeles Times noted that, "after two albums of all groove and no song, the thrill is back at the incendiary level you'd expect from a band that descended from Northern Ireland's melodic punk boy wonders the Undertones." [8] The Orlando Sentinel wrote that "Tingle" "is a breezy love song that lopes along and is pure pop at its best." [9] The Houston Chronicle called the album "a strong, no-nonsense, uncompromising rock 'n' roll record from one of music's bright new bands." [10]
