Ned Raggett of AllMusic described the album as "another chance for Mark Fell to work with techno as something that's as much hyperclean art object as it is invitation to dance." He added, "The whole album is pop on the one hand but pop of a self-consciously other kind, transformed from easy hooks and direct flow into an arch blend of past and present, something where 1981, 1993, 2001, and 2012 recombine and intertwine." Angus Finlayson of Resident Advisor commented that "this album represents an intriguing compromise between Fell's distinctive language and the friendlier environs of the contemporary dance floor."Patrick Masterson of Dusted Magazine stated, "In these songs, it's almost baffling to think that Fell is the same guy behind SND — the sounds are recognizable, but the hassle of head-bobbing has been removed." Andrew Gaerig of Pitchfork commented that "Fell denies us much of what we expect from dance music: a sense of journey, a traceable rhythm, a defined purpose or utility." He added, "In doing so, and in offering us oases of melody, he approaches trance from the complete opposite direction."
Otis Hart of Dusted Magazine named it the 6th best album of 2012.
