AllMusic awarded Tocsin four-and-a-half stars out of five, praising the album as "a creative high point, a teutonic marriage of Siouxsie and the Banshees' inviting goth-pop and the majestic sonic spaces of the Cocteau Twins."[1]

gollark: Did you know potatOS has its own registry?
gollark: Actually, I can also pay in shattered dreams, extremely small amounts of computer time, and 0.1 banano.
gollark: Er, it's Saturday.
gollark: Well, we actually only pay in melons right now, and only melons in computer games because real melons are a hassle to transport.
