Critical reception

Patrick Lejtenyi of Exclaim! described the album as "spaced-out and weirdly melodic, with a mysterious brass undercurrent and definitely late '60s Kinks influenced" and went on to say, "There is a magical, deeply romantic quality one finds in literature that is translated here onto a compact disc – an ambitious undertaking, carried out with restrained elegance".^[1]
