Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 2 stars out of 5, saying, "All glitches and sediments have been scrubbed off; the beats are straightened out and made prominent; the odd bit of instrumentation that was once implied or misshapen beyond recognition now actually exists."[2] Andy Battaglia of The A.V. Club called it "a stylistic side-step that trips and falls without making much of the tumble."[4]
