Critical reception
editAllMusic wrote that "these are thoughtful tracks, carefully developed and arranged by [Orenda] Fink and her collaborators, and while the themes are generally weighty, the singer's voice -- good, but not extraordinary, with clean higher tones that can take on a rougher edge when she moves down the register -- alongside her distinct sense of melody, keep them from sinking into despair or longing or over-dramatics."[3] PopMatters wrote that "the songwriting is rather good, juxtaposing achingly pretty melodies against abrasive, rock-centric beats."[9] Spin praised the album bookends as "pieces of gorgeous sorrow."[1]
