The album received generally favorable reviews. It earned a collective score of 68 out of 100 from Metacritic. Adam Bregman from Allmusic commented, "This French-Swiss duo pumps out retro-'80s-style disco beats and silly lyrics, creating a fun, goofy, ironic vibe [...] They seem to be trying to reach over and above that generally stale genre, and they mostly succeed."
