Reception
| Review scores | |
|---|---|
| Source | Rating |
| God Is in the TV | 9/10 |
| Narc | 4.5/5 |
Martin Gray of Louder Than War described the album as "a neat fusion and composite of all those previous four Prolapse albums", noting that "What is most comforting about this new album is, given the length of absence, Prolapse still sound exactly like Prolapse."[2]
God Is in the TV's Steven Doherty assigned it a rating of nine out of ten, referring to several songs on the album as "groove-laden", "noisy, undisciplined," and "swirling, messy but melodic."[4]
It received a rating of 4.5 from Narc, whose reviewer Lee Fisher commented, "I Wonder... is the Prolapse we know and love and by God, it's good to have them back."[5]
