Critical reception

Trouser Press called Gilded Stars and Zealous Hearts "an uninspired album of relatively straight-ahead mainstreamed pop."[3] Entertainment Weekly wrote that the band "offer a few spritely, memorable melodies featuring happy, strumming guitars behind boy-girl harmonies."[4] MTV deemed the album full of "radiocatchy punk-pop songs with easy melodies and hooks galore, coupled with intelligent, decipherable lyrics that, if not always profound, manage to steer clear of pop cliché."[5] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that Velocity Girl "makes a convincing case for writing coherent, intelligent pop songs that continue to sound as if they were recorded in someone's basement (albeit with excellent equipment)."[6]
