As well as singer/guitarist Barzin Hosseini, the album features vocalist Melissa McClelland, vibraphone player Robbie Grunwald, and pedal steel guitar player Burke Carroll.[2]

Exclaim! writer Rachel Sanders viewed the album as Barzin Hosseini moving to "a more nakedly melodic songwriting style", calling it "a dreamy, elegant stunner of a folk pop release".[3] PopMatters' Dominic Umile gave it 5 stars out of 10, describing it as "straightforward and dry folk pop, with little decoding needed".[4]
