Marc Weingarten of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a grade of A−, describing it as "a messy mosaic of trills, chirps, and buzzing sounds that slam headfirst into dense, abstract, and occasionally danceable grooves."[4] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 5 stars out of 5, saying, "Each listen reveals new layers of the group's intricate arrangements, and the shifting instrumentation and themes recall the best adventurous jazz in terms of unpredictability."[1]

In 2017, Pitchfork placed it at number 18 on the "50 Best IDM Albums of All Time" list.[8]
