David James Young from The Brag Media said "Polish Club have been pushing their blend of vintage soul, garage rock and the dirty side of the blues for a few years now. In turn, their debut LP is equal parts concerted effort and impulsive release – one that's been a long time coming, so it charges out of the gates the second you press 'play'."[7]

Dylan Marshall from The AU Review called it "a blistering debut album" saying "Polish Club have kept to their strengths and delivered an album that will without a doubt sound shit-hot in a live setting."[8]

Music Feeds said "[Polish Club have] graced us with a highly original, daring release in Alright Already, which should be admired. Ultimately, this debut record is better than good. It's bloody great."[11]

Celeste Adams from "Impact Nottingham" said "Whilst not quite flawless, the electrifying soul-punk vibes across all fourteen tracks makes it a strong debut and a great addition to any summer playlist. "[10]
