Reception
gave the album a favorable review: "Williams' stunning, plaintive voice combines with her rich, literary way with words, the imagery and ideas she paints in the listener's mind". KLOF Mag noted, "Williams continues to explore rather than simply settle into an old comfortable groove....finds a way to humanize the machines she works with while still singing about things that matter".The album received a 8/10 review from Uncut Wyndham Wallace, who called it "hardly playlist material," and a four-star rating from Mojo. The Crack stated, "Sonically, it's more expansive than some of her other stuff, with cinematic vibes being supplied by some well judged electronica."
