In a retrospective review, Jake Kennedy of Record Collector said he would "love to pronounce it the overlooked gem" of the band's career "but, in truth, it's muddled by a mix of producers". He added that it is unsuccessful in "shak[ing] off the baggage and tiredness that originally signposted it as an endpoint" in their career. [4]
