Critical reception

John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Moved to BBE, which is a natural fit even compared to his old label Ninja Tune, Vadim keeps a few things the same -- he still shows himself as one of the brightest and best producers in electronica." [1] Daniel Bates of Resident Advisor gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 and said, "Many of the 17 tracks have dreamy, precise and inventive rhythms and snatches of speech, making the album sound like you're tuning between (tasteful) radio stations."
