Critical reception
Johnny Langlands of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "this particular collaboration may be the proverbial slow burner, but trust that the rewards start unfurling by the third listen."[5] Anthony Tognazzini of AllMusic said: "Muscular and textural, the Skyrider band supplanted Sole's previously digital soundscapes with an organic sound, lending the perfect backdrop to his complex flows and nimble wordplay."[1]
