Reception

The album was released to a favourable reception. Shaad D'Souza of The Guardian praised the "heady, euphoric combination" of the album and gave it 4/5 stars. The Quietus stated that it might be their "most accomplished album to date", which draws "from an even broader palette of influences to create their most mature, refined work yet", and included it in their Music of the Month. They also listed it as number 19 in their Albums of the Year So Far list, and in the Best 100 Albums of 2025. NPR included it in their All Songs Considered albums of the week review, calling it "dramatic, intense and deeply sad" and praising the "intimacy that not all electronic music possesses". Grant Sharples, writing for Interview magazine, said the album "revels in intensity. Seldom does it let up on the gas pedal". The Fader included it as a standout album of the week, saying it "confront the changing face of a digital world and embrace it." Clash (magazine) called it "sharp, immediate, and emotionally muscular....an album forged in the fire of digital disconnection, relentless information overload, and a near-pathological craving for connection." Nialler9 included in it their best albums of April, and it made the God Is In The TV albums of the year list.
