Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic gave the album a positive review, although he points: "It’s easy to knock this for not exactly being compelling -- it glides, it doesn’t grab -- but that’s the whole point: this is meditative mood music and it’s gauzily effective in that regard in either of its incarnations".
