Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, writing, "Even if the sound they pursue here is just a detour, its seamless and creative fusion of rock and electronic idioms deserves respect." Dan Lett of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.9 out of 10, commenting that "The contrasting styles don't always sit comfortably, but individual tracks sparkle with creativity and the newfound dark side is a surprisingly pleasant fit." Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and called it "the duo's most arresting album yet, introducing live instruments, songwriting and Weatherall's own deadpan vocals to their murky electronic brew."

In 2014, NME placed it at number 64 on the "101 Albums to Hear Before You Die" list.
