Critical reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 82% based on 10 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[1]

Tim O'Neil of PopMatters gave the album 8 stars out of 10, saying, "There's none of the indulgence that often bedevils minimalism, as the album clocks in at a modest 45 minutes."[4] He added, "Every track is just about a complete microcosm unto itself, unfolding with precision and lingering for just long enough for the listener to begin to get a grasp of the many subtleties on display, but not long enough for it to wear out its welcome."[4]

The Wire named it the 17th best album of 2007.[6]

gollark: They apparently have lots of digital signal processing processors which allegedly have some form of isolation, but I bet it's very poorly tested/has holes.
gollark: Fun idea: write malware for mobile phone DSP hardware somehow.
gollark: Add reply support how?
