[4] Uncut called the album's length "a little exhausting" but felt that "there's no denying that this is the band's most accomplished and ambitious record to date".
And its soundscapes are just as vast, drawing on bluesy pop, middle eastern cabaret goth, afro acid, and piano rave to name but a few".
Edmund ultimately called it "a playful reimagining of a traditional album structure which delivers danceable bluesy beats, percussion-driven synth pop, and disco grooves made for the summer".
[1] Timothy Monger of AllMusic described it as "an ambitious, guest-heavy project that pushes them in new directions without abandoning their wily charm" as well as "ostensibly a dance record rooted in techno, rave, hip-hop, and other beat-driven styles".
[2] John Murphy of MusicOMH found the "collaborations are the high points" of the project, which he felt "seems a bit mammoth at first (touching 90 minutes and at 21 tracks) so the instrumentals scattered amongst the album feel like a decent palate cleaner".
