Writing for Allmusic, music critic Thom Jurek wrote "The sound on these pieces is crystalline, they are structured as brief, tightly constructed songs, with catchy, often ethereal melodies of varying tempo... The pristine sound is easy on the ear and easily appreciated. That said, it can sometimes detract from more organic surprises inherently written into these songs. But it's a small complaint given how much there is to enjoy here."

The album currently has a Metacritic rating of 68% based on six reviews from professional critics, indicating generally favorable reviews.
