Writing for XLR8R , DJ Anna said: "While the songs don't always achieve the depth or scope of, dare I say, a DJ Shadow piece, they do exist as lovely and moving soundscapes, and Omid proves himself to be a technically awesome electronic composer." [7]

The album reached number 3 on CMJ's "Hip-Hop" chart, [8] as well as number 21 on KUCI's "Top 30" chart. [9] Fritz the Cat of Vice included it on the "Top Nine" list in December 2003. [10]
