Doug Wallen from NME gave the album 4 out of 5 calling it "[a] lively record full of guitar interplay and sociopolitical critique". Conor Lochrie from Tone Deaf said "Forever Giving Handshakes is an exercise in controlled chaos, songs threatening to fall apart at any moment, but it all coolly remains together" adding "Underneath the rapid-fire vocal delivery, intricate guitar interplay is rife; it's always a case of more is more."
Delivery played Golden Plains Festival in Meredith, Australia in March 2023.
