Reception[]
Music critic Matt Fink of AllMusic criticized the album's length, saying it "would endlessly benefit by cutting its 22 tracks in half, its sprawl is a bit hard to digest despite the presence of generally pleasant songwriting and a few winning tracks."[1] Fink added that while the album's songs experiment in different musical styles, Kid Icarus "never really reveals a sound that seems to suit him."[1] Diamond City Weekly writer Gene Padden said that "to find out it was recorded in a bedroom via 4-track was shocking, and damn impressive."[2]
