Joshua Bote of Paste described the ten-track album as "comforting twee-pop that wrings out genuine pathos from mxmtoon's internet celebrity."

NPR's All Songs Considered wrote the album "straddles whimsy and earnest depth."

mxmtoon Lyrics
blame game Oh, I thought That it was the last time That I'd fallen…
dream of you I had a dream about you last night At first I…
high & dry Throwing empty threats Across at me in passing and I thought…
late nights Late nights are for lonely people Lying awake hardly laying …
my ted talk My therapist once asked me If I wanted to be in…
prom dress I'm nearing the end of my fourth year I feel like…
seasonal depression I just don't see a whole lot of sun And lately,…
suffice I keep sitting here waiting for something But I know nothing…
unspoken words It wasn't always easy Growing up we had our fights Though we…
untitled We grew apart I watched you from afar As your wings began…
Lexi
on feelings are fatal
ok I've seen a lot of things about people being the funny friend and stuff but what about that one friend who shows everyone so much love and support and is forgiving and kind and always smiling, and lets not forget the ones who give the best wisdom. I have been labeled these things I give so much yet I cannot take my own advice, I get hurt,betrayed,bullied. Love practically seeps out of my pores, and yet all this bad stuff has happened to me. Still I am not giving up on this war , yeah sure it's gonna hurt and suck and it may feel like i'll never win but I got this! and so do you!

I believe in you and hey it'll be ok. Listen,
Whatever you may ever be going through or will or have gone through just know life is like a flowing river there is always going to be points where there's rocks that cross your path and sometimes current picks up and everything will be flying by and it maybe stressful but just know it's only temporarily, besides every river always finds its path again and flows. It may seem like it never will but it will and your life your river will always come across leaves or events good or bad and they will flow with you but eventually end so never just focus on that leaf, and you will cross paths with animals like fish squirrels or people in your life sometimes they're only there temporarily or sometimes the fish will flow with your or your close friends will stick with you sometimes they will seem like they disappeared but their still there in the background sometimes something may come up that slows them or you down like a bird or rock but they pull through and you do too. It all depends if you let the obstacles stop you or not. Find your fish(s) keep them close and remember They will always be here for you and they shall flow with you and it may seem like you guys get distant but never worry they'll always be there and come back they'll never leave you. Wi the war I believe in you! You got this! Tons of people are there for you ! I'm here for you! I know how hard it is but keep going! I promise overtime you'll have your happily ever after like everyone else and guess what you will have the best one because you've gone and persevered more than some . You aren't alone you never are or were, you will find your light whether its a person or a thing you will find it/them. They will help you and continue to help in the long run. You could find a thing too and it will be there for you to! It's ok it's ok to cry and feel emotions and its ok to eat its ok to look different or be different it's ok to love anyone want as long as their in legal age and not a child you get what I mean. Everything will be ok so don't give up, everything will play out in the long run I promise. Now enjoy this song, show mxmtoon support she's amazing and her music is even better if its possible, and it's ok to get help it was the hardest thing for me to do but i'm doing it now and i'm getting better i'm winning the war! Now seriously, Go enjoy your life! You got this!
