Reception

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, commenting that "Lawrence Chandler's beats, though highly clichéd at points, land harder than before, and Martha Schwendener's vocals are more prominent." He called it their "most song-based" and "most accessible" work.

Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle gave the album 4 stars out of 5, describing it as "a morphine drip of an album, so clear and precise in its smokey, sexy grooves that it seems almost too easy to compare them to fellow late-night nodders Portishead." Sarah Zupko of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, saying, "the tone herein is decidedly downcast and often forlorn."
