AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found that the album "does go in several directions and will take longer to process than Patterson's previous three, but that'll only make the wait for his fifth album a little more tolerable. More crucially, the variety of sounds and emotions is not the result of trying to see what sticks. It all seems to have come naturally. Most crucially, it all sticks." [3]
