Critical reception

The Quietus wrote that "the noise aspects were shorn away to a sound that was much more beholden to classic acid folk."[4] SF Weekly wrote: "Gorgeously exotic guitar lines, shimmering bells, subtle sound effects, and incantationlike vocals combine to create a work invoking everyone from American folk radicals and British pagan-folksters to early Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Sun City Girls at their quietest."[5]
