Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, writing, "Even if the sound they pursue here is just a detour, its seamless and creative fusion of rock and electronic idioms deserves respect."[7] Dan Lett of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.9 out of 10, commenting that "The contrasting styles don't always sit comfortably, but individual tracks sparkle with creativity and the newfound dark side is a surprisingly pleasant fit."[9] Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and called it "the duo's most arresting album yet, introducing live instruments, songwriting and Weatherall's own deadpan vocals to their murky electronic brew."[8]

In 2014, NME placed it at number 64 on the "101 Albums to Hear Before You Die" list.[11]
