Ancient Romans is the fifth solo studio album by Cameron Stallones as Sun Araw.
[3] Paul Thompson of Pitchfork described the album as "another fever dream of dub-mottled organ grind and guitar squiggle, at once elemental and futuristic.
"[9] Ned Raggett of AllMusic wrote, "Throughout the album the sense is of rough experimentation, a kind of direct curiosity in the collision of sampled loops, echoed vocals, bursting bass, and random moments.
"[4] Ron Hart of Blurt stated that this album along with the Eternal Tapestry collaboration Night Galley cemented Sun Araw "continu[ing] to redefine the freak-out for the digital age, leading the pack of new young mindbenders looking to rock music down paths not yet explored without fear or frenzy".
[14] Adam Kivel of Consequence of Sound commented that "You can't help but move along to some of the entrancing, pulsing drones found on Ancient Romans; altogether, another epic, grandiose, striking LP from one of the best and most underrated musicians of the moment.
