Dylan Green of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, stating, "It's less a singing-and-dancing, public reclamation of self than it is a silent disco, a reminder that introspection and consistency can break any curse." [6] Tomas Miriti Pacheco of Spin commented that "the progression of both his sorrow and his musical technique can be traced across the album's diverse tracks." [8] Pranav Trewn of Stereogum wrote, "He is a conduit for a broad coalition of voices that speak across the album, taking in their perspectives and reflecting them back out like the disco ball that obscures his face on the cover."
