Deseret News[8]

The Washington Post wrote that the horns "are the most stylistically consistent thing on the album, which hops across a variety of bouncy or slamming genres, from the hardcore of 'Guns and the Young' to the hip-hop of 'Bad in Plaid'."[9] The Deseret News deemed More Noise and Other Disturbances "a bristling mix of punk rock, rock, funk and ska."[8]

Tiny Mix Tapes called the album, along with Question the Answers, "the band’s best work," and wrote that they both "[hold] up surprisingly well."[10]
