Reception

Pitchfork wrote that Oneida's "12th album, Romance, explores new ground yet again, literally and metaphorically, as an examination of where one fits in the tumult of suddenly inhospitable environments." NPR compared listening to the album's third track ("All In Due Time") to "watching a universe being born."^[6]
