Sean Kerwick of DIY described the album as "a solid record with an intriguing concept that unravels fantastically under Russell's loosened leash." Paul Simpson of AllMusic praised Maria Somerville's contributions to the album. He commented that "Her plaintive and enchanting voice appears at the beginning, in the middle, and toward the end, surrounding the graphic lyricism of her duet partners with wraith-like poeticisms." Oskar Jeff of Loud and Quiet stated, "Many passages of the album are perfectly passable, yet it is greatly disappointing considering the level of talent involved here."
The album was nominated for the Best Independent Album award at the 2020 AIM Independent Music Awards.
