Critical reception

Leigh Sanders of Shropshire Star gave ii (Side A) and ii (Side B) a mostly negative review: "That first half was a little dull at times, it has to be said. Soft and touching tunes, yes, but with little leaving first gear it soon became a bit of a drag to listen to from start to finish. Luckily, while still not ripping up any trees, this second collection holds a bit more life within its bones to lift it above the realms of bland white noise its predecessor inhabited. We don't want to sound overly critical, but unless you are quite happy to play this as background music while completing other tasks there may be little to keep you hooked, even with just five tracks to sit through."[4]
