Critical reception

Margaret Reges of Allmusic described Between the Devil and the Sea as "a group of hook-driven, scribbly, smart, and fun songs. The production is clean, the nasal, somewhat goofy vocals are pleasantly bizarre, and the whole thing feels just about right."
Chris Fore of QRO Magazine called it "an instant relaxer" due to the band's "cheerful sense of humor that boils over".
