Critical reception

The Line of Best Fit wrote: "Where the album’s first songs were both a timely update of the bis sound, and a friendly reminder of what made them great, most of the rest of the album simply sounds like it’s treading water in a sea of four-to-the-floor rhythms and Microkorg presets." [8]
