The Arts Desk gave the album a favorable review: "Williams' stunning, plaintive voice combines with her rich, literary way with words, the imagery and ideas she paints in the listener's mind". [2] KLOF Mag noted, "Williams continues to explore rather than simply settle into an old comfortable groove....finds a way to humanize the machines she works with while still singing about things that matter". [3]
The album received a 8/10 review from Uncut 's Wyndham Wallace, who called it "hardly playlist material," [4] and a four-star rating from Mojo. [5] The Crack stated, "Sonically, it's more expansive than some of her other stuff, with cinematic vibes being supplied by some well judged electronica." [6]
