Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "[Jon] Proudman is an extremely musical drummer who can hold down the fort while taking off on flights of fancy with the liquidly propulsive [Chris] Fujiwara."[7] Rolling Stone praised "the deft, pointillist strokes with which guitarist Glenn Jones dots the margins of his spare compositions."[8]
Paste listed the album as one of the "50 Best Post-Rock Albums", writing that it "set the bar for the group's expansive experimentalism, allowing them to work Can-like rhythms, Eastern-influenced melodies, flickering electronics, and plenty of noise into their deconstructions of the rock idiom."[9]
