Critical reception
In a positive review, Conor Atkinson of Exclaim! gave California Cursed an 8 out of 10 saying that the band "write songs – like, real songs. The kind that have the power to transport your mind out of the dystopian nightmare we are all navigating, right into the Santa Cruz ocean waves or a mosh pit in Orange County." Atkinson concluded that "California Cursed is short and sweet, but not in a way that will satisfy some algorithm. The band knows just what to say and just how to say (or scream) it."
