Critical reception
Robert Ham of Pitchfork commented that Smith "sounds hale and inspired, evoking the spirit of William S. Burroughs' recorded work in his delivery and unmistakable drawl." Adam Lehrer of The Quietus wrote, "The music is cryptic, otherworldly, and uncanny." Paul Simpson of AllMusic stated, "While some of Werner's solo efforts, brilliant as they are, can seem cold and challenging, Smith's vocals on the album draw out the levity and excitement for exploring new ideas that might not be apparent otherwise."
