Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave the album 3 and a half stars out of 5, positively saying, "Hello Fascination won't top any year-end critics polls, but while it is playing, the goofy lyrics, bubblegum snappy melodies, and overall feeling of joyousness will make you feel good. What could be better than that?"[17] However, Drew Beringer of AbsolutePunk gave the album a highly negative review, saying that "Breathe Carolina will sell a lot of copies, so good for them, but that doesn’t make this band any less despicable to self-respecting fans of music".[16]

The album debuted at No. 43 on the Billboard 200 and sold 11,000 copies in its first week.[18] The album sold over 60,000 copies in the US to date.[19]
