DIY rated the album four stars and commented, "What are on paper strange qualities also make for some of the project's most inviting moments."[1]
Dork gave the album a rating of four out of five, described it as "emotional without being performative, clever without being smug, and consistently thrilling without ever begging for attention."[6]
New Noise, rating it five out of five, described the album as "hard to define" and remarked, "Her music squelches, beeps, and swoons, underscoring a vocal dynamism in her own arena."[5]
Paste assigned a rating of 6.8 out of ten and noted, "Even with its inconsistencies, Angie invites the listener in, hinting at a greatness hidden in the fuzz and motif."[4]
