Their album received positive reviews from critics.
“I wouldn’t go as far as saying this album is ten years in the making, but given that this is Sports’ first self-produced album, there is a sense of freedom. No nuance of input from outside forces, just Christian Theriot and Cale Chronister of Sports doing what their friendship has brought them together to do, and it’s excellent,” wrote the reviewer for Indie Is Not a Genre.
