Millie Warwick from Distorted Sound said "If the criteria for a self-titled debut album is to entirely capture the energy of a band, then Beddy Rays does exactly this. With the main themes being love for their hometown, enjoying the summer and checking in on your friends, you'll feel well acquainted with the band after listening, and immersed into their world."[11]

Jake Richardson from Kerrang said "Aside from acoustic number 'Brin's Song', they largely stick to the same formula across this album, but rather than becoming tiresome, the four-piece's approach works so well that there's no point in deviating. Beddy Rays know what they do well, their identity is clear and they use this record to explore their sound in all its fast-paced, party-starting glory."[12]

Tiana Speter from Hysteria Mag said "Embracing their sturdy footing between the surf rock, indie and garage rock realms, Beddy Rays come out swinging, hugging and thumping on their first ever full length album."[14]

Ryan Ellis from X-press Magazine said "Beddy Rays is an unrestrained and unpretentious rollercoaster of undeniably infectious tunes. Loaded with loose surf-punk melodies, crunchy riffs and infectious vocals, it will inevitably induce and maintain good times in any situation. All you need to do is embrace it."[13]

Beat Magazine said "Beddy Rays are the epitome of good summer vibes, with their surf-rock vibe and catchy lyrics."[9]
