Critical reception

edit

Rolling Stone called the album "stunning" and "an unerring collection of floating, giant little moments."[5] The Washington City Paper wrote that the album "showcases [Neil] Halstead’s considerable songwriting talent."[7] The A.V. Club praised the band's "subtle and simple, yet surprisingly full-sounding, instrumentation, which includes doses of organ, horns, and pedal-steel guitar."[8]
