Reception[edit]

Professional ratings
Review scores
Source	Rating
AllMusic	^[10]

AllMusic gave the album a rating of 3 out of 5, stating "Make no mistake, [Pentatonix] are still proudly the children of Glee, but that's also the ace up their sleeve: they're flashy about their hip attributes, which helps disguise how this album is -- at its core -- music by a very good music theater troupe."^[10]
