Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that "there's a complete unpredictability to the movement and execution of their songs here, which often seem temporarily settled, only to then veer off and head for entirely uncharted territory." The Rutland Herald wrote that the album "serves up a winsome sound that’s as sultry, soul-stirring and beautiful as it is funky and dance-inducing."{{Cite web|url=https://www.rutlandherald.com/the-show-must-go-on/article_55ad3244-9864-5132-9a14-a0cdd252d1dd.html|title=The show must go on|first=TOM|last=HUNTINGTON|website=Rutland Herald}}
