The album received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Dominique Leone of Pitchfork Media said the album "doesn't break much new ground", but also thought that "Booth and Brown return to more straightforward grounds, even if they don't quite reach their mid-90s peak as melodic technicians".[5] Pascal Wyse of The Guardian said, "Buried in this splintered, maths-driven world, down there with the metal insects, are shards of musical convention that keep a humanity alive", adding that the music "becomes quite a beautiful picture of the chaos of your brain".[4]
