"Trouser Press" wrote: "Frequently slow and spare, letting small-scale instrumental restraint release Gedge’s most luminous melodies and performances, the album is a surprising charmer — except in the  lyrics of songs that shrug off guilt while acknowledging its validity." "Clash" deemed it "a curiously 1960s-flecked, garage-pop album." "Spin" called "Watusi" "a dream-pop album that obsesses instead of dreams." Track listing. All songs written by Belk/Dorrington/Gedge/Smith, except tracks 1 and 11 written by Belk/Dorrington/Gedge/Gregory/Smith and track 4 written by Dorrington/Gedge/Gregory/Smith.
