Critical reception
The album has been well received by critics. Nordic Music said it was a "dream pop style album with melodies, lovely layers of sound and interesting lyrics that should make you think, and have far more depth than you might imagine at first listen."[2] The Line of Best fit said the album "occupies the middle ground somewhere between the ephemeral and the tangible - a sonically woven tapestry that's interested predominantly in the human condition".[3] The Edge Magazine called it a "sophisticated statement sound of soft psychedelia with unhurried lyrics and a dreamy tone in a debut is a rarity. It sounds like a film soundtrack, and its length lends itself to fully entrancing listeners."[4]
