Critical reception
The Washington Post gave the album a mixed review, writing: "A meeting of gothic minds, Faith and The Muse's debut, Elyria, fails to avoid some of the genre's more hackneyed cliches: Gonging church bells and whipping winds conjure a requisitely dank atmosphere, and [Monica] Richards's lyrics reinforce the overwrought ambience."[5]
