The album was released to critical acclaim, with many celebrating the band's foray into a more doom metal-influenced sound. Metal Injection gave Moss an 8.5/10, describing it as "surreally gothic" and claiming that it "epitomizes why Kayo Dot remains a laudable one-of-a-kind project". Everything is Noise praised the album, dubbing it both "one of the best Kayo Dot records" and "a thoroughly amazing album" wherein "the reward is proportional with your investment".
