Their debut album ''Cry Baby'' from 2007 received a 7.7. review in ''Pitchfork''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/10880-cry-baby/|author=Stephen M. Deusner|date=28 November 2007|work=Pitchfork|title=Review|access-date=16 April 2024}}</ref> In Norway, ''Adresseavisen'' gave a dice throw of 5 (out of 6). The group reminded of The Minutemen, Fugazi and The Jesus Lizard with "a foot firmly planted in prog".<ref>{{cite news|title=Originalt|author=Hanne Aaserud|work=Adresseavisen|date=16 October 2007|page=|language=no}}</ref> ''Bergensavisen'' stated that the album contained psychedelia, hippie rock, jazz, punk, grunge, disco and funk. "Here and there, it boils over and just becomes spill and mess. Kristian Stockhaus' voice, manic at times, can also become tiresome". ''Bergensavisen'' issued a dice throw of 4,<ref>{{cite news|title=Review|author=Bjørn Tore Brøske|work=Bergensavisen|date=9 October 2007|page=25|language=no}}</ref> as did ''Bergens Tidende'', ''VG'' and ''Dagbladet''. Several reviewers also drew comparisons to Motorpsycho and Frank Zappa. ''Dagbladet'' also commented the cover art: "The cover is either the best or worst of the year, crammed with enthusiastically carried out, but cruddy ideas".<ref>{{cite news|title=Skuleungar|author=Asbjørn Slettemark|work=Bergens Tidende|date=23 October 2007|page=32|language=nn}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Review|author=Stein Østbø|work=VG|date=16 October 2007|page=34|language=no}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Review|author=Peter Vollset|work=Dagbladet|date=16 October 2007|page=45|language=no}}</ref>
