AllMusic	[2]

AllMusic critic Mike DaRanco worte "Suave, laid-back and borderline poppy (but not in the obnoxiously happy sort of way), Satisfact have the ability to accomplish all of this without coming close to boring the listener to death." DaRanco further stated: "They even manage to successfully incorporate a theremin on the track "Demonstration" -- that alone is worth giving this record a good review."^[2]
