Nate Patrin of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.7 out of 10, writing, "Melancholy, bucolic relaxation, and agitated giddiness all run through this record, but its emotionally calming effect comes at the expense of anything truly revelatory or exciting." Tony Naylor of Resident Advisor gave the album a 3.5 out of 5, commenting that "Teebs employs dusty library music samples, astringent drones, twinkling percussion, punchy hip-hop drums and woody, autumnal tones to create defiantly utopian music."
