Critical reception

Kingsley Marshall of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying, "The resultant aural complexity amounts to one of the tougher listening experiences to be found in the Mush catalog, but will offer endless joy to those in search of something advanced."^[2] Brad Haywood of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.7 out of 10 and said, "This one might even be worth owning just for its distinctiveness."^[4]
