Reception
DIY rated the album four stars and commented, "What are on paper strange qualities also make for some of the project's most inviting moments."
Dork gave the album a rating of four out of five, described it as "emotional without being performative, clever without being smug, and consistently thrilling without ever begging for attention."
New Noise, rating it five out of five, described the album as "hard to define" and remarked, "Her music squelches, beeps, and swoons, underscoring a vocal dynamism in her own arena."
Paste assigned a rating of 6.8 out of ten and noted, "Even with its inconsistencies, Angie invites the listener in, hinting at a greatness hidden in the fuzz and motif."
