reception

Channing Freeman gives the album four out of five points and writes for the online magazine Sputnikmusic :

“If you've never heard Blink-182 before (unlikely), then they're perfect for getting into the [pop-punk] genre. Their music is very catchy and simple and they have introduced a lot of people to the world of music. You will miss them. "

- Channing Freeman

The album received three out of five points on laut.de. The editor Alexander Cordas compares it to easily digestible food and writes that the album is astonishingly good. It is “the little things that immediately catch your eye. A surprising break here, soft lalala choirs there and a good production - which rubs away the pop factor a little - round off the routine. "

Darren Ratner gave the album the second highest rating at Allmusic . He describes it as one of the best work of the band.
