Critical reception

The Santa Fe Reporter praised the album, calling its music "a dark, hook-laden brand of pop-rock, dipped in menace and swirled through a somnambulist, druggy sensibility."^[4] AllMusic wrote that when the band "hook onto a killer groove, like they do on the sweetly biting 'Comatose,' their pop aptitude overrides their electronic one with a shimmering enthusiasm that's positively catching." Entertainment Weekly wrote that a couple of songs "merge trip-hop dance grooves and loopy shape-shifting to Hall’s girlishly appealing voice for warm, emotive pop-tronica."
