[3] Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Timothy Monger writing that that album is "somewhat of a grower" and "while its charms might take a few spins to unpack themselves, Andersson and Dornauer have applied their own unique set of filters and experiences to the dreamier side of post-rock on this solid debut". [1] Writing for The Line of Best Fit , Chris Todd gave this release an 8.5 out of 10, stating that "this is an album where quiet is key, they have a propensity towards ‘the hush’, using the space between sounds as instrumentation in very much the same wayas Talk Talk did on their final two albums". [2] Dafydd Jenkins of Loud and Quiet scored this release a 3 out of 10, characterizing the music as "pedestrian" and "achingly dull". [4] Giving All That Ever Could Have Been 4 out of 5 stars, Will Hodgkinson of The Times stated that this music "floats along with wondrous, widescreen calm" and compares MOLLY to musical acts such as Pink Floyd and Popul Vuh.
