Pitchfork Media gave the album a rating of 7.5 out of 10, noting "[
A Mouthful] tries to balance the mature and the immature" and that "[Olivia B. Merilahti and Dan Levy] aren't shy about toying with musical categories (...) which compensates for the less-than-advisable inclusions, and the record is as ambitious and fun as any coming-out party in recent memory", but criticizing the lack of a better quality control.
Drowned in Sound gave it a rating of 9 out of 10, saying the band is like "a female Eminem backed with a brass band" or "PJ Harvey on the Moon". French magazine
Les Inrockuptibles gave a positive review, calling them a "cool and promising band". The album was nominated for the
Prix Constantin in 2008 but did not win. ==Charts==
