Reception
While The Pseudo Dates have not been widely written about, in early 2008 Jeremy Bradshaw wrote a blog item on the website for the Denver alternative newspaper Westword reviewing the band's May 1 performance at the Larimer Lounge. He wrote that the band was "contagious" and said, they "played with a joyous abandon reminiscent of Beat Happening. Even when they slowed down the good times, the band still sounded cohesive and uplifting".
The staff of the CCD Community News, the student newspaper for the Community College of Denver where Fate attends school, chose The Pseudo Dates as its band of the month in March 2008. In an article writer Cat Howard said they had the freshest sound she's heard come out of Denver in a long time. In describing their performances Howard wrote that their "songs are well-written and performances clean, entertaining and interactive; it's not unusual to see a group of people on stage hugging the indie rockers during a set".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
