At the ARIA Music Awards of 2016, the album won the ARIA Award for Best Classical Album. The award prompted controversy from The Australian's Matthew Westwood, The Sydney Morning Herald's Bernard Zuel and Tone Deaf's Greg Moskovitch and amongst the Australian classical community, questioning how an electronic duo were nominated in this category.[3] Toby Chadd, manager of ABC Classics, told The Australian "The album consists of Flight Facilities' original electronic music with the accompaniment of an orchestra. It feels like something is potentially wrong with the ARIA system to allow an album whose credentials are clearly in no way classical to win the classical award. It has the potential to damage the integrity of that award." Hugo Gruzman of Flight Facilities said "We're stoked to be nominated for Best Classical Album a year after being nominated for Best Dance Album — we don't know how but thanks very much." An ARIA representative informed The Australian that the 'creative collaboration' between Flight Facilities and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra met eligibility criteria for the award and the winner was determined by a 'specialist classic music ARIA judging panel'.[4]
