Svein Brunstad of URB commented that "There's too much noise between the highlights, and even though he has his own signature production, you get tired of listen[ing] to the same industrial basslines and vocal mumblings ten times over."[11] Brian Howe of Pitchfork wrote, "In particular, the record's home stretch is just kind of a mess, seeming to lose all regard for melodic and rhythmic center."[8]
