Marcus J. Moore of Pitchfork wrote, "The album reminds us to stay the course and ignore the nonsense, to find some kind of peace in a world that's become increasingly unstable." [8] Paul Demerritt of Creative Loafing commented that "the brevity allows the group to experiment with a variety of sounds, from Afro-Brazilian rhythms to swells of dissonance and industrial percussion akin to Death Grips." [5] He added, "Radical juxtaposition defines nearly every track, but the group's own sense of taste keeps the album cohesive amid the chaos." [5]
