Reception

In Dork , Rebecca Kesteven gave this album 5 out of 5 stars, calling it "as beautifully melancholic as its name suggests". [1] At The Line of Best Fit , Lana Williams scored this album a 7 out of 10 for having a "sonic catharsis" with "woozy Mazzy Star melodies and shimmering indie rock goodness" that is ultimately "an impressive collection of ethereal cuts steeped in powerful emotions, that find their root in jangly indie-rock and textured instrumentation". [2] Andy Von Pip of Under the Radar gave this album an 8.5 out of 10, stating that it "demonstrates Bleach Lab’s talent for capturing emotions with graceful understatement and poetic beauty" that is "a perfectly judged collection of songs, and despite the melancholy, there’s no sense of navel-gazing or self pity".
