Tim DiGravina of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "With its smart, confident arrangements, consistent tone, and fascinating personal themes, the album sees Gallo making a bold, confident, and mature musical step of considerable relevance."[2] James Keast of Exclaim! described it as "an atypical, eccentric and occasionally atonal exploration of simple sounds and dissonant piano and guitar plinking."[4]

Alex Needham of NME said, "Gallo may not be renowned for subtlety in his life, but he’s a master of it in his work."[5] David M. Pecoraro of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.3 out of 10, describing it as "a gorgeous collection of songs which paint an undeniably clear picture of their creator."[6]

In 2015, Clash included it on the "7 of the Best: Albums by Artists More Famous for Other Things" list.[8]

In 2016, Polish singer Monika Brodka listed the album's track "Yes I'm Lonely" as one of her favorite songs. Brodka wrote "I love the whole album and I listen to it regularly. It’s a subtle and gorgeous collection of songs...[Gallo] may be a freak, but I really respect his work.[9]
