Musical style and critical reception

Gregory Adams of Exclaim! described the track "Indian Paintbrush" as "hypnotic series of harmonized blips steadily threading themselves together throughout the 13-minute-plus experiment as if pumped through a distant AM dial. " On the other track, "Gemini Pt. 1", he also commented: "The air sign-approving collusion of cloudy guitar drones will lift your spirits into the heavens all the same."[4]
