Critical reception

Exclaim! thought that "at last, the band has created melodies and bewitching atmospheres that enhance, rather than negatively emphasise, their deliberate lack of dynamics."[6] The Chicago Tribune noted that the band was moving away from the influence of Stereolab and the Chills, and wrote that "they play brief, unhurried songs and delicate, vibraphone-textured instrumentals that flow dreamily into each other."[7] Texas Monthly opined that "the group's careful silences and hypnotic guitar-vocal motifs could add up to nothing more than a pleasing ambience, but the band transcends the surfaces."[8]

AllMusic wrote that "the record insinuates itself on the strength of a subtly expanded emotional palette which lends a haunting new dimension to the group's fragile beauty."[2]
