Adriane Pontecorvo of PopMatters stated, "The complexities of this riveting LP are laced with autumnal breezes, beautiful gradients, and careful explorations in exceptional detail that sometimes hit a simmer but never sweat."^[15] Daniel Felsenthal of Pitchfork commented that "The LP has the potential to be a relaxed listen if you welcome this side of its personality, but it's also vast and complicated."^[14] Paul Simpson of AllMusic called the album "refreshing, enlightening, and awe-inspiring all at once."^[8]
