Casey P. O'Neill of Performer gave the album a favorable review, saying: "With an intricately melodic sound that borders on both the beautifully ambient and the darkest aggressions, the primarily instrumental album takes the listener to new places with its melancholy songs and tapestries of sonic nuances." He added, "Telephone Jim Jesus has created a sonic masterpiece, letting the music be the ultimate guide into the unknown." Bryant Rutledge of XLR8R described it as "an instrumental album of warm atmospherics and effected acoustic guitars, where dark and light constantly play off one another."
On July 9, 2007, the album was included on XLR8R's "Office Top Ten Album Picks" list.
