Critical reception[]

The Chicago Tribune wrote that the album is "full of the kind of music that requires headphones to be completely appreciated, sound collages that envelop the listener in their arty, dreamy textures."[2] Washington City Paper thought that "these are overcast songs of lovelorn gloom: tone poems that spread out, rumble a bit, but mostly just loom over the listener in one big gray mood."[7] Spin wrote that it "goes beyond emo to a freestyle, experimental, randomly discordant place."[8]
