Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that the album "saw Oi Va Voi embracing their peculiarities and creating a swirling mix of rock music, soulful electronica, and world music influences." The Guardian wrote that the band "excel here at everything from an Air-style 'kitsch space song' about Yuri Gagarin via skittering beats, Arabic strings and Jewish klezmer to the sensitive 'Dry Your Eyes.'" Drowned in Sound called it "an astoundingly bland, wearingly tedious long-player, with precious little to recommend it."
