Gabriel Keehn of Tiny Mix Tapes stated, "Both members of the duo, without openly sacrificing or dumbing down their own personal styles, open themselves up to the other, allowing for some beautiful cross-pollination of sound."[10] He added, "The tracks ebb and flow naturally between rumbling, fuzzy bits and the sort of delicate and crystalline formations for which Connors is famous."[10] Adam Kivel of Consequence commented that "This album might not quite live up to a combination of the pair's impressive credentials, but it's certainly an interesting recording of two musicians at the top of their game."[6]
