Critical reception
Emil Dröll of Laut.de observed that the project embodies what Waters represents: it is "uncomfortable, ambitious, musically brilliant", yet "incredibly exhausting" on a personal level. Dröll felt there is little room for "individuality" and the audience is merely "handled", which is both a positive sign and a source of disappointment.[3]
