Jo-Ann Greene of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "From blurry dub and chill to doom-laden pieces, ambient sweetness to street noise effects, Nosdam's sounds and samples swirl round and round, coalescing into ever more surprising aural shapes and moods."[3] Joshua Love of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.0 out of 10, calling it "a tightly constructed soundscape that hangs together more cogently than anything he's conceived to date."[6]

gollark: I'm not denying that *Muslims* consider it a revelation from Allah. I'm just denying that it *is* a revelation from Allah, because no evidence.
gollark: Didn't he just send an angel or something to dictate it, in Islamic mythology? I guess you could photograph that.
gollark: ... how would you have photographic evidence of god, or something?
