Critical reception

Andy Kellman of AllMusic described the album as Shigeto's "most diverse bundle of tracks yet." Ashley Hampson of Exclaim! commented that "This LP captures Shigeto's embracing of myriad sounds, styles and sensibilities, and while his original sound still shines through, he shows the listener that diving into new territory can have massive payoffs." Simon Edwards of The Line of Best Fit stated, "It's great to see a musician push themselves outside of their comfort zone, taking in new inspiration, but it can be extremely hard to cram all these conflicting influences into one fluid piece of art."
