Critical reception
editExclaim! called the album a "big bomb," writing that "the music is the lone positive point, and the Masters have a great knack for arranging sounds."[5] The Pitch called it "both an incredibly obtuse and somehow curiously listenable disc, and that’s doubly true for fans of chamber pop, an admittedly acquired taste."[6]
