Reception

In a positive review of "Only Once Away My Son" for Pitchfork, Marc Hogan wrote "[w]ith its decaying hums, low-end rumblings, and coruscating clatter, the instrumental track may not be groundbreaking for them, but it’s familiar in the best way. The biggest question: Is this good? Unequivocally, yes."[6]
