Writing for XLR8R, DJ Anna said: "While the songs don't always achieve the depth or scope of, dare I say, a DJ Shadow piece, they do exist as lovely and moving soundscapes, and Omid proves himself to be a technically awesome electronic composer."[7]
The album reached number 3 on CMJ's "Hip-Hop" chart,[8] as well as number 21 on KUCI's "Top 30" chart.[9] Fritz the Cat of Vice included it on the "Top Nine" list in December 2003.[10]
