[7] Dan Lett of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.9 out of 10, commenting that "The contrasting styles don't always sit comfortably, but individual tracks sparkle with creativity and the newfound dark side is a surprisingly pleasant fit." [9] Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and called it "the duo's most arresting album yet, introducing live instruments, songwriting and Weatherall's own deadpan vocals to their murky electronic brew."
