The album received a 7.0 rating from Paste, whose reviewer Tiernan Cannon described it as "self-consciously planted in a sepia-tinged yesteryear, a beautiful, slow-moving work designed to offer both the artist and her listeners a moment to unplug from the blue-lit coolness of the digital contemporary and to luxuriate in the analog warmth of an idealized past."Spectrum Culture J Simpson assigned it a rating of 75%, noting it as "a home run – one of the prettiest, most passionate, heartfelt, intimate and relaxing albums of the year." In a four-star review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek referred to the album as "a true gem," opining that "the analog-to-tape technique adds the necessary warmth and dimension to stand apart from facile digital sounds."
