Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

Entertainment Weekly states that the music "adds spice with two harmonizing female vocalists sweetly delivering dry, sarcastic lyrics about things like trying to get a lover to leave so you can wake up alone."[4]From AllMusic: "... a cleanly produced sequence of bouncy, guitar-based pop songs—and fans of the band know just how good they are at writing bouncy pop songs. The only problem with The Decline and Fall is that it's so painfully short."[6]
