Pitchfork | 4.6/10 [4] |
The Wall Street Journal called the album "New York avant-garde music down to its raw, improvisational core." [6] Catherine Lewis of The Washington Post credited Watt's leadership for saving the album "from being a scatterbrained, last-minute affair" and found the track "Yuka" to be the standout of the album. [2] John Payne of The Los Angeles Times called their work "risk-taking, spontaneous and thought-provoking electric music". [7]
Tal Rosenberg of Pitchfork was less impressed with the album saying "it sounds like directionless and purposeless noodling." [4]
