At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72 based on 14 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Tom Hughes of The Guardian called it "A hugely impressive rebirth" and noted that "it's largely downtempo – live drums and bass provide a roomy, dub-tinged framework for all the emergent noise – but treads a fine line between tension and chaos."
