Critical reception

edit

PopMatters wrote that "while [the album's] scattershot approach might be appealing on the surface, at 12 songs – four of them eclipsing the five-minute mark – the record does feel a bit overlong."[7] Now called the album "a smorgasbord of sound that’s all bongos, keyboards and languorous breakdowns that creep into repetitive territory."[4]
