PopMatters called the album "a quick and dirty blast of lo-fi garage rock that would feel right at home on both a Nuggets compilation and a late-70s NYC punk club." AllMusic called it "both undeniably catchy and just a little strange--power pop confection colliding with psycho-trash style."{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/love-visions-mw0000807804|title=Love Visions - Nobunny | Songs, Reviews, Credits | AllMusic|via=www.allmusic.com}} Tiny Mix Tapes called it "stripped-bare, no-frills garage punk."{{Cite web|url=https://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/NoBunny-First-Blood|title=Music Review: Nobunny - First Blood|website=Tiny Mix Tapes}} SF Weekly declared it "a sonic wad of doo-wop and bubblegum-punk-pop that's smashed up and oozing for a rechew somewhere beneath an autoshop desk in Rock 'n' Roll High School."{{Cite web|url=https://www.sfweekly.com/music/nobunny-to-love/|title=Nobunny to Love|date=January 21, 2009|website=SF Weekly}}
