Reception

The album received much praise from critics, and won Best Alternative Album at the 13th South African Music Awards in 2007. The music critic, Marcus Louw, remarked that the album's strength "lies in the way in which Lark manage to be quite adventurous and experimental while still remaining accessible". In the Cape Argus, Evan Milton described the album as "densely layered and delectably dark" The American podcast, Nonstuff, proclaimed that "Lark’s presence in Cape Town is certain to make us take notice".
