Critical reception
Gregory Heaney of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, stating that the most impressive thing about the album is "its seemingly effortless flow as it drifts from track to track, intuitively guiding listeners through its eerie sonic depths before gently depositing them at the end." Adam Kivel of Consequence of Sound gave the album a grade of B, calling it "a fully-fleshed, well-orchestrated electronic album."Personnel
