Critical reception
The Los Angeles Times wrote that "Haydn's high-pitched vocals may not appeal to some listeners ... and at times her violin sounds equally shrill in the mix." AllMusic compared her to "the equally eccentric Tori Amos" and said that Lili has a "pop/rock foundation with classical overtones ... as well as elements of everything from urban contemporary and hip-hop to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean music", resulting in an album that offers "more and more of its richness with each listen."
