Reception

José Carlos Santos of Terrorizer lauded the album, describing the music as "hauntingly, harrowingly, luminously beautiful." He concluded by saying, "Do you know when death or near-death experiences are sometimes portrayed in the movies from the perspective of the dying, when there’s a huge flash of white light that fills the whole screen? This album is a sort of sonic equivalent to a still frame of that exact moment."^[4]
