Mosi Reeves of Spin gave the album a 7 out of 10, saying, "Saal is an unexpectedly downbeat chapter in an increasingly impressive discography that will likely go unappreciated until years from now, when the world is better prepared for this Randy Newman-like bard and his ruminations on our mortal coil." [6] Jonah Bromwich of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.3 out of 10, calling it "serious, overstated, and unavoidably heavy." [2]
