Critical reception
Mehan Jayasuriya of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, calling it "a dense, meticulously crafted haze of Baroque instrumentation, electronic pulses and hip-hop beats." Matt Gollock of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "This album's a slow burner that'll take a few repeated plays to really hatch, but it's another in a long line of truly innovative records from a rare gem of a label."
Andy Whitman of Paste named it the 2nd best album of 2008.
