Trouser Press' review was negative, opining that it "uses too much aural gimmickry and tends to meander aimlessly".[3] The New York Times wrote that "most of the album is airy, moody, strangely gripping psychedelic rock-jazz, with guitar and saxophone textures grating against each other in an echo-chamber and a beat that's more implied than stated."[4]
