Critical reception

In a review published by Pitchfork, Jayson Greene praised Dehd for remaining stylistically consistent with their previous album, Flower of Devotion.[1] Greene wrote that "it can take a peculiar kind of nerve to stay the course".[1] In a review for The Guardian, Ben Beaumont-Thomas referred to each song as individually "catchy and evocative" and the album as a whole as "casually masterly".[4]
