[1] Critics have described the album as drone[3][4] and harsh ambient,[4] with influence from krautrock,[3] electroacoustic music,[3] and minimalism.

[3] The album uses synth textures rooted in electronic music of the 1970s and 80s, such as Brian Eno and Robert Fripp.

[6] There is a focus on melody instead of excessive experimentation,[4] in contrast to the typical noisiness of No Fun releases.

[3] Jspicer of Tiny Mix Tapes gave a favorable review, praising the album's composition and the band's "desire for a new direction".

[4] AllMusic's François Couture rated the album three-and-a-half out of five stars, and described it as "oddly nostalgic yet resolutely forward-looking".
