The album received a generally positive reception. Sam Ubl of Pitchfork wrote that "the organic, close-mic'd sound posited on that collection has been reined in by Elverum's masterful studio touch, allowing the music to retain an unaffected, live-performed spirit without ever sounding sloppy or unfinished."
