Critical reception

Wired wrote that the album's "cabaret dance pop marks the same territory as Madonna's Ray of Light , but with a less chilly approach and none of the self-righteous armchair spirituality." [2] The Washington Post called the album "a little spacey", writing that "its mixture of beats and burbles sounds less like a trip to another galaxy than like a walk in the woods near a rave." [7]
