Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Matt Collar writing that this release has "a cathartic, deeply ruminative vibe" that takes listeners "on a journey from solitary confessions made in a dark room to a wailing wall of bright pop catharsis".[1] Writing for Alternative Press, Matt Mitchell notes the somber tone of the music calling it "solemn, enduring" and that it "feels like Manchester Orchestra is shedding their former self" due to the restrained nature of the music.[3]Clash Music published a 7 out of 10 review of the album, stating that it "oozes emo sensibilities" and is "a melancholy, broody, moody and fun project to get lost in", but criticizing Andy Hull's vocal performance.[4] Rowan5215 of Sputnikmusic rated this release a 3.4 out of 5, noting the slowness of the band and commenting that this music's tone is "positively withdrawn" and "a touch too sedate".[5]
