"Marisa Brown of AllMusic also praised Cadence for crafting electro beats over tracks that carry intelligent lyrics, concluding that ""Breaking Kayfabe" is a cohesive set of songs, backpacker in the best of senses, smart and witty and provocative, experimental and well-produced, but at the same time very raw and very real-sounding.It's not often that a debut does all this correctly; listeners would be wise to pay attention."
