The Orlando Sentinel wrote that the "cinematic sweep of Pram's work is sometimes reminiscent of Portishead, but there's more hallucinatory detail."[1] The Colorado Daily stated that "as vocalist Rosie Cuckston breathes out her melodies, wavy synths, tight snare hits and funky bass lines move the songs along, taking the listener on an undersea adventure."[7] In his 2023 interview with Pram, Brett Abrahamsen referred to the album as "a masterpiece" and "one of the most fascinating albums of the modern era".[8]
