At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72 based on 14 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]

Tom Hughes of The Guardian called it "A hugely impressive rebirth" and noted that "it's largely downtempo – live drums and bass provide a roomy, dub-tinged framework for all the emergent noise – but treads a fine line between tension and chaos."[16]
