Furthermore, he wrote that the album would have the listener "singing along" since its songs are "engrossing and appealing".[5] In a review for The Washington Post, Catherine P. Lewis wrote that the album "never lacks energy" and called it a "charmingly quirky collection of songs." She did, however, write that Katzenjammer's "exuberance [occasionally] teeters on the brink of unbridled chaos," citing the album's title track, which she said "sounds like a circus band gone rogue."[7]
