The Boston Globe noted that "the album's 12 songs cover ground quickly, tripping through Latin-flavored upbeat pop, then reversing to dwell upon the inner questions that torment sufferers of eating disorders."[6]The Washington Post wrote that "once again we find the duo's Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball mining a mostly dark vein of ballads, but the lyrics are more complex, the arrangements more sophisticated."[7]The New York Times concluded that "both Ms. Brooke's lyrics and the album's moody jazz and Brazilian-flavored arrangements owe a debt to [Joni] Mitchell's late 1970's albums, especially Hejira."[8]
AllMusic called the songs "beautifully arranged and well-orchestrated tale[s] of longing, love, and/or loss."[5]
