''[Spin](/source/Spin_(magazine))'' wrote that the band's "energy can be so overpowering that it takes a minute to notice the adeptness of the musicianship — [frontman Tiger] Merritt’s exciting prog guitar riffs make the nine-minute 'Wholehearted Drifting Sense of Inertia' feel too short."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2011/03/morning-teleportation-expanding-anyway-glacial-pace/|title=Morning Teleportation, ‘Expanding Anyway’ (Glacial Pace)|date=March 8, 2011|website=Spin}}</ref> [NPR](/source/NPR) called the album "a raw and tantalizing piece of work."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2017/04/17/523965833/songs-we-love-morning-teleportation-re-wiring-easily|title=Watch Morning Teleportation's 360˚ Video For 'Re-wiring Easily'|website=NPR.org}}</ref> ''[PopMatters](/source/PopMatters)'' wrote that Morning Teleportation's "sloppy, anything-goes aesthetic makes their debut album an unhinged ball of fun."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.popmatters.com/140051-morning-teleportation-expanding-anyway-2496044953.html|title=Morning Teleportation: Expanding Anyway|date=June 15, 2011|website=PopMatters}}</ref>
