Reception
Katie Hawthorne, in a review for The Guardian, gave their self-titled debut album 4 out of 5 stars, praising it as "headstrong, tender Americana about chasing integrity and conviction."[5] In a review for Pitchfork, Marissa Lorusso wrote positively of the Crutchfield sisters' songwriting and suggested that "their candor sounds hard-earned and their uncertainty feels honest".[6] Lorusso wrote that "since their last album-length collaboration" the Crutchfield sisters have "triumphed over personal difficulties" and that "there’s something therapeutic, then, about hearing them return to each other on a record that sounds genuinely fun".[6] Matt Mitchell, reviewing for Paste Magazine, described the album as "a hailstorm of warm, exceptionally-written country-rock bangers" and scored it 8.5/10, writing that "it’s a gift that Snocaps exists" and concluding that "Katie and Allison have brought us a world of good-sounding miracles".[7] Will Hermes, of Rolling Stone, gave the album 4/5 stars and described it as a "fantastic surprise album".[8]
