Allmusic music critic Stacia Proefrock wrote:

In a world where almost no sound exists in a pure space without distraction, this combination of thematically distant musical bits does seem to make sense, but it inhibits his ability to set an overall tone for the work. Occasionally beautiful or beautifully painful, this album nonetheless suffers from its randomness.
