Spin magazine called the album "a sort of Silverlake-style Sigur Rós... experimental instrumental music that's both highly skilled and deeply felt".

The album cover features a silhouetted trijet – however, it is a Boeing 727, not a Lockheed L-1011.

On 9/27/2019 Joyful Noise Recordings released a 15 year anniversary version of the record which included the bonus tracks "A Watched Pot" and "Fanshawe (live in Asheville)."
