Critical reception
Rick Anderson of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "The songs are desultory but strangely attractive; the singing is cold and lackluster, but oddly comforting."[1] He added: "The overall sound is something like '80s synth pop with the turntable set at too low a speed, and it's weird and dreamy and pretty and just slightly annoying all at the same time."[1] Trav Glave of URB said, "the vocals do a nice job of painting more sound and layering it all together."[5]
