Critical reception

Trouser Press noted, "Although [Al] Larsen's nasal delivery can be one of the band's greater charms—especially when he's struggling, à la [Jonathan] Richman, to fit in as many words per bar as possible—his ineptitude as a 'singer' reveals itself again when the band turns down on 'Little Wishes'." Jersey Beat said that the band revels "in a kind of studied amateurishness".
