Paul Simpson of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, writing, "The album contains the producer's most complex, detailed arrangements yet, incorporating sounds of the elements and modular synthesizers into pristinely detailed compositions that progress from near stillness to intense, fractured rhythmic sections." [4] Nick Roseblade of Clash gave the album a 7 out of 10, commenting that "Lapalux has a great touch, but a bit of attention on the parts of the project that feel slightly off could bring out all the fantastic in this record."
