Press and critical response 
On 13 April, a week before the album was released The Guardian offered an exclusive stream of the album  saying that the album "channels the riotous spirit of their beer-swilling live shows".

The London Evening Standard gave the album 4/5  Describing it as "... a giddy cross between The Pogues' swagger and, more obviously, The Men They Couldn't Hang's impassioned folk-soul advocacy for the mouthy underdog... It's hard to imagine a breakthrough into the mainstream, but it's harder to imagine anything more mischievous."

The NME gave the album 8/10  saying "These are boozing songs of love, conflict and elopement brewed from intoxicating hooks, so embrace your inner Pogue"
