Rolling Stone hailed the bands hazy, psychedelic Americana, while NPR praised their explosive live performances and infectious roots-rock swagger, and The New York Times compared their songs to Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young. Dates with Fleet Foxes, Wilco, and Dawes followed, as did festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Newport Folk, and Coachella, among others. In the years to come, the band would go on to release six more similarly lauded studio albums, culminating with 2020s Holy Smokes Future Jokes, which Mojo proclaimed sound[s] like the Beatles at Big Pink.
