Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that "this is far from a bad album--in fact, it's pretty good--it's just somewhat disappointing to see the band shrink away from the unabashed joyfulness they once made their own."{{Cite web|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/ladybug_transistor-cant_wait_another_day|title=Ladybug Transistor Can't Wait Another Day|website=exclaim.ca}} The Guardian wrote that "long-term fans will envelop themselves happily in the album's soft loveliness, despite a feeling that some more memorable moments would have been welcome."{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/dec/07/popandrock4|title=Review: The Ladybug Transistor, Can't Wait for the Day|first=Jude|last=Rogers|newspaper=The Guardian |date=December 7, 2007|via=www.theguardian.com}}
