Kerrang! | 4/5[8] |
James MacKinnon from Kerrang! said "Do What You Wanna touches on losing loved ones, alienation and self-destructive patterns. It finds Beddy Rays, whose members have been mates since the school playground, attempting to face up to some of life's hard truths without losing their mischievous side."[8]
Jonah Taylor from The Live Wire said the group sound "better than ever" saying "In this latest record, Jacko, Brad, Benny and Lewy tackle themes of mateship, mental health, and self-discovery with a sincerity that feels both genuine and down-to-earth. The overall message emphasises that being surrounded by the people and places you love is the remedy for life's struggles."[9]
