I Heart California received a generally mixed reception from critics. Phillip Cosores of Consequence of Sound called the album "a muddled mess of having too many cooks in the kitchen and no clear direction from a concept band with seemingly no real concept. Sure there are terrific moments, but by the end, one song stands out for it nearly self-aware statement 'it goes nowhere and it does nothing'."[1]
