Reviews for the album were generally positive, earning a rating of 70 out of 100 on Metacritic, indicating generally favourable reviews.[7] Charles Pitter at PopMatters declared the album "an enjoyable overload of charisma".[18]

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian wrote, "The first new album from the reformed Libertines is better than anyone could have possibly dreamed. It may be a new beginning or a complete finish, but it's a vast improvement over how the Libertines' narrative appeared doomed to end".[19]
