Critical reception
Allmusic writer Nitsuh Abebe only gave the album 1.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "six tracks of burbling, pop-oriented electronics".[1] Pitchfork Media's Chip Chanko, however, rated the album at 8.9 out of 10, stating that the album is "like syrup being poured from one of those fish- shaped pitchers. It's like diving into a swimming pool filled with new crispy M&M's."[2]
