Bram E. Gieben of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, stating, "the beats, which Dose produced, are heavily electro-influenced, with a melodic pop sheen that suits his approach to vocals on this release."^[9] He added: "There's little straight-up rap on the album, but Dose's layered, breathy falsetto singing is definitely a product of incredible breath control and strict rhythmic pattern-generation."^[9] Ben Cardew of NME gave the album 2.5 stars out of 5, calling it "an alien funk, in which scampering beats collide with wistful vocal lines."^[7] Zach Long of Alarm said, "Doseone returns with a record that reaches in new directions while retaining all the unique characteristics that make his music unmistakable."^[4]

Azeen Ghorayshi of East Bay Express included it on the "Top Ten Albums of 2012" list.^[12]
