Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.4 out of 10, calling it "[Milo's] most fascinating work to date, filling weird, side-winding productions that deflate and wheeze with tumbling lyricism delivered in near spoken word cadences."[3] Gary Suarez of The Quietus wrote, "producer Kenny Segal leans towards jazz abstractions, full of billowy smoke instead of the more typical boom bap dust."[4]
It was ranked at number 26 on Rolling Stone's "40 Best Rap Albums of 2015" list,[6] as well as number 37 on Spin's "50 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2015" list.[7] The New York Observer named it the 5th best hip-hop album of 2015,[8] while The Boston Globe named it the 7th best hip-hop album of 2015.[9] Impose placed it at number 17 on the "Best Albums of 2015" list.[10]
"Souvenir" was included on RedEye's "20 Best Songs of 2015" list.[11]
