[1] Rob Webb of NME found it to be "a dizzyingly beautiful set of delicate folk songs that sound like they've been sprinkled with pixie dust and reincarnated from some perfect bygone age".

[4] Grayson Haver Currin of Pitchfork felt that the album "makes it clear that Groves is inordinately talented and working with big portions of audacity and acumen.

[6] Reviewing the album for PopMatters, John Bergstrom called it "alternately impressive, surprising, aloof, and exhausting" and "when it succeeds it sounds like the work of someone who could leave a lasting mark".

[7] Michael Hann of The Guardian wrote that "the 10 songs here tend towards the emotionally overwrought" and "those with a low tolerance for navel-gazing are advised to steer clear, but there's plenty to cherish here".

[3] James Christopher Monger of AllMusic complimented its "earnest yet elusive wordplay, serpentine melodies, and minimal arrangements lithely follow the trail blazed by the current crop of postmillennial retro fairy tale crooners like Joanna Newsom, Tiny Vipers, and Laura Barrett" but noted that "the pace is sluggish at best, resulting in a collection of songs best listened to in threes".
