Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that the album "features Barlow in fine voice and exploring the catchy guitar rock that's marked his career."[8] Now wrote that "the grittier, guitar-heavy sound stands in contrast to "Natural One"'s slick hiphop slinkiness and One Part Lullaby’s multi-layered marriage of indie rock and electronica."[9]
