Critical reception

Mark Kennedy of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette called the album full of "regret and moodiness" and noted that it is "also largely shorn of the upbeat tempos and hip-hop elements that made his [Graham's] last album so successful. This is a truly melancholy Dane."[3] Kennedy ultimately felt that the album leaves the listener feeling "bummed out".[3]
