Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying: "There's a fair amount of experimentalism, with plenty of synthesized and effected sounds, songs breaking in and out of themselves from time to time, intermissions that lead into full pieces which then fade halfway through and become something else before returning to what they were originally." Dave Kerr of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "Despite the haunting, downtrodden poetry in these lyrics, optimism and vitality shines brightly throughout the Shallows' sound."
