Reception

Rhys Buchanan from NME said "Parcels have gone all in to produce a sprawling and inventive double album" and "This daring album sets yet another high bar for this band, and leaves us itching to find out where they'll go next."
Greg Walker from Northern Transmissions said "It's a long album, one hour and 36 minutes, but every moment keeps you engaged, with their brilliant disco-infused, then slow jazz-tinged modern rock."
Al Newstead from Triple J said "Double albums are unruly beasts" but went on to explore to two sides saying Day contains the more familiar Parcels sound: scratchy guitars, popping basslines, elegant piano, everything luxuriates in string arrangements from violinist-to-the-stars Owen Pallett. Night has some of the same bump n' grind but slips into its evening gown - all moody, nocturnal atmosphere. Lyrically, it's a much more sombre affair, too."
Fraser Johnson said "They sound like every great pop, rock, and disco band of the last 60 years, all rolled into one. It's absolutely infectious." Johnson compared the two sides saying "The first, Day, is loose, raw and uplifting. In Night, the production shifts ever-so slightly into a brooding, darker and more affected affair."
