Pitchfork 6.4/10 [3]

Bailey Constas of Pitchfork wrote that the album "floats between glorifying the past and dreaming of a future that might not come" and found it "almost hard to believe an album this syrupy came from within the same four walls of isolation as the rest of us. The mysterious depth that shadowed Roosevelt's earlier work feels sugarcoated". [3] MusicOMH 's Ben Devlin compared the album to Daft Punk's Random Access Memories (2013) as it finds "euphoric abandon amongst the funky basslines, infectious hooks and unapologetically decadent arrangements", concluding that it is "a breezy trip through those sounds and styles we just can't get enough of, and its groovy production and smooth songwriting go down well". [2]
