[4] Jonathan Williger of Pitchfork wrote that "each performance is different, allowing for an ever-shifting relationship to the material and its genesis" as they are "anchored by a shared tonic drone" so "easily melt into one sprawling three-hour epic".

[5] Uncut opined that "the music spreads, and the sound engrosses and uplifts you, the tacit message feels humble and lightly worn: one of consideration, empathy and collective strength".

's Chris Bryson felt that O'Malley's "electric guitar's saturation, overtones and distortion provide fullness to Malone and cellist Lucy Railton's mutating circuitry", calling the album "a beacon of possibility".

[1] Conor McTernan of Resident Advisor noted that the album "stretches out like the bleakest patches of winter before blossoming into light airy spring" as "Malone recycles motifs with a range of raw and compelling tones".

He also found that "while Malone's compositional touch is what ultimately dictates the shape and flow of the pieces, Railton and O'Malley's contributions are just as important in building their mesmerising fabric".
