After Sophie's unexpected death in 2021 from an accidental three floor fall at the age of 34, plans of releasing her unpublished works were discussed.

In June 2021, her brother Benny Long considered the possibility of a posthumous release of her planned follow-up to her debut album, Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides, stating it "just needed finishing touches".

[13] Rolling Stone wrote that the album was "full of wildly inventive bangers" and "set[s] a new bar for other musicians to leap over if they dare.

[24] Similarly, Jesse Dorris from Pitchfork called it a "bittersweet, difficult to pin down, and an unusually safe statement from one of the 21st century's great risk-takers",[21] while Josh Korngut of Exclaim!

"[15] NME's Alex Rigotti was less positive, opining that "there’s a gnawing impersonality that plagues many of the tracks here" and concluding that "the album doesn’t fully execute SOPHIE’s unique vision.

"[25] The Quietus's Karl Smith stated that "SOPHIE's absence is most keenly felt in the many gaps on this posthumous guest contributor album", with many hallmarks of her music "dialed down throughout or, in some cases, gone altogether".

[26] Slant Magazine's Charles Lyons-Burt felt that "without her patented mix of prankish wit and bleeding-heart expressivity to guide the project, [the album] feels more like a ChatGPT recreation of a true visionary's unique brand of pop".
