A Chicago Tribune reviewer wrote "The quartet has all the sleepy, idiosyncratic charm of Prekop’s former band, and the album [...] is recorded with a dry, close-up quality that highlights the combo’s jazz shadings".[3] Writing for Guitar World, Jim Testa noted the group's "impeccable indie-rock credentials" and reviewed the album as "more like an afterthought than a fully realized project".[4]
