Critical reception

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "Vibert leaves the impression that the foundation of each track was pulled off by a small cast of keyboardists, drum programmers, hand-percussionists, and horn players." [1] Jean-Pierre of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, stating that "the album mixes elements of reggae and dub on ‘Silhouettes,' Daft Punk-esque analog synths on 'Let's Dance and Freak,' and early '80s New York disco on 'Illogan.'"
