Spin referred to the track "Donkey Rhubarb" as a "silly steeldrum reverie". [5] Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the EP a four star rating, praising "Donkey Rhubarb" for its "lovely main melody dressed up with quick beats, bleeps, and the like" and stating about Philip Glass' version of "Icct Hedral" that "the original's chilly melody made even more serenely beautiful and disturbing all at once thanks to Glass' fine orchestration".

The cover artwork is a self-portrait by James.
