Writing for Exclaim!, Blake Morneau hailed the record as "a walloping triumph of great roots songwriting," further noting it has "big, dark secrets hidden away in its seams that call out for repeated listens until you can draw them into the light." [7] Leah Dearborn of Elmore Magazine commented that the band "has been experimenting with their established sound, implementing a range of percussion, horn and even a touch of electronica" but that fans "can look forward to the same distinctive, mournful tones that Murder By Death has cultivated over the past 15 years." [6]
