Critical reception
Matt Eberhart of XLR8R wrote, "Melding Squarepusher and Kid606 into a delicate post-jungle card tower, this record (Whitman's first full-length since his debut three years ago) is well worth the wait." Jon Whitney of Brainwashed stated, "Maybe one of these days Hrvatski will do some sort of a conceptual album, but for now, this listen is rewarding enough." Marcus Scott of BBC commented that "Hrvatski gives his own twist to virtually every strand of contemporary electronic music, remarkably keeping it fairly cohesive" over the album's length.
