The album incorporates electronic textures into Buckner's moody folk rock, creating a sound AllMusic's Fred Thomas described as "ambient Americana.

The result could definitely be seen as ambient Americana, with cloudy electronic textures filling in the usually empty spaces in his spare and lonely folk tunes.

"[1] Brian Howe of Pitchfork wrote, "For 20 years, Richard Buckner has elusively drifted through alt-country, electric folk, acoustic rock.

But no matter which way Buckner tacks, he always contrasts imagery so nonfigurative it seems shaped from vapor with tactile, oaken music.

His voice is a long gnarled shape with a silky finish, like a sea-polished branch, and gives a roughshod impression that belies its smooth range and secure pitch.
