Critical reception

Ben Conoley of Punknews.org praised the band's debut album, saying that "''Marriage'' is an absolutely beautiful blend of punk, rock and folk, with each element coming together almost perfectly with each stylistic influence making appearances at all the right times and almost always with enough show. The songs demonstrate an incredible amount of maturity, which one may not expect from a band's first full-length."
