Critical reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [ 2]
By the critics who reviewed it, Desire was less favourably received than the group's first album, Half-Mute .[ 2] A critic at Last Sigh Magazine gave the album a positive review and said "this is an example of a band who explore the music they compose -- they play their own original style of music that can't be compared to any specific style of music."[ 3]
