Critical reception

Andy Kellman of AllMusic stated, "Wholly contemporary with apparitional qualities, its production is an electronic-acoustic synthesis with everything from subtle drum programming and sensitively played keyboards to foot percussion, slide guitar, and strings." Josh Crowe of Clash commented that "Russell's decision to prioritise melody over rhythm results in an album that feels weightless yet deeply affecting, like sunlight filtering through the cracks of a long-lost memory."
