 Pitchfork Media's Tom Breihan wrote that "Keith himself is responsible for all of the album's good moments.Even when he's in unhinged-rant mode, Keith's imagery often remains lucid.And so the album's best song is "Ants," where he comes off frantic but omnipotent...It's dense and fascinating stuff, a tantalizing glimpse of what might've happened if Keith hadn't treated the reemergence of his most popular persona like an easy payday."
