Critical reception
The Chicago Reader called the album "a bleak statement of emotional strain embodied by guitars that mewl with melancholy, bitterness, and unsure resolve." The Chicago Tribune noted that "the edgy guitar textures overlap with the understated melancholy in [Sooyoung] Park's voice and lyrics, a reflection of a tumultuous year that ended with a pressure-packed recording schedule." The Gazette stated: "Nothing new to this kind of ache-based grandeur, but Seam's languorous guitar noise serves its songs, and not the other way around."
