Critical reception
Zanda Wilson from Rolling Stone Australia said "Safia expertly tread the line between eerie and ethereal on their third album" saying the album is "impossibly well-titled, pulling together themes of love, loss, and change". Bryget Chrisfield from Beat Magazine complimented vocalist and keyboardist Ben Woolner, calling his voice "a wellness tool" and remarking that "his distinctive, yearning timbre regularly cascades before leaping octaves to attain thrillingly unexpected peaks". Chrisfield called the album "an interplanetary good vibe zone". Alex Gallagher from NME wrote that "the Canberra trio shine anew on their third album, which glistens with pristine pop production while beating with a very human heart underneath."
