Reception
On June 19, Paste reviewed the best albums of the year so far, ranking this release fifteenth for "a relentless curiosity [that is] so refreshingly brilliant and poetic". This album received a positive review from Pitchfork's Ian Cohen, who rated it a 7.2 out of 10 and wrote that "the songs are all rendered with a patience and perspective that can’t be faked or rushed". Editors of Stereogum chose this as Album of the Week, with critic Chris DeVille writing that the "softer dynamics, a range of lush arrangements, and an influx of acoustic guitars" compared to project founder Steve Ciolek's previous work results in work with "adventurousness" and "excellence [that] continues... unabated, often in service of songs that reckon with falling in love, settling down, and what comes next". In a June round-up of the best albums of 2023, the publication placed this at 21, with DeVille writing that the album "feels lively and lived-in". For the site's end of the year ranking, this placed 41.
