CMJ New Music Monthly said that "much of the album tends to give off a background ambience" and that "Shivaree's nouveaux lounge, old-timey cabaret flare trickles with an underlying bizarreness that smacks of one of those hypnotic late-night excursions so common in David Lynch films."

Billboard Magazine said that "while the musicianship of the group is indisputable, Parsley's unusual childish voice is stunted by pedestrian songwriting."

Torontoist called the album "fascinating and almost unsettling in its uniqueness."

Stylus argued that although "they may have shrunk their range and scope slightly, the songwriting and execution is as strong as ever."

J. Poet of the Phoenix New Times wrote that "despite the low volume, this album delivers an emotional knockout punch."
