    There isn't quite as much gleeful taboo-baiting on this second set, as they dig further and harder into the absurdity of being a young woman in America, and still make it catchy and fun as well as angry and melancholy. [Jun 2015, p.93]

    It’s a beautifully composed record, where songs gently bloom and the pace constantly ebbs and flows.

    Yes, this is serious music, but it blends a mischievous sense of fun and incredulity at its heart.

    Time to Go Home breaks new personal and political ground for contemporary goth-influenced music as Chastity Belt trades cliche nihilism for proactively feminist post-punk.

    Time to Go Home is an album full of rallying cries.
  11. "Cool Slut" is burdened by the idea that the need to fight gender inequality still exists in 2015. Occasionally though, they find relief.

    Although not perfect (and perhaps transitional), Time to Go Home is a defining moment not only for Chastity Belt, but also for a style currently seeing a serious revival.

    Time to Go Home seems like half the album it could have been.
