 Allmusic reviewer Marisa Brown wrote that the album "doesn't always make a lot of sense, but that's the beauty of it.It's a kind of concept album that concentrates more on the actual overall sound than the concepts.Its elements are all on the very edge of control, which is both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time; if it works, it could bring us to where we've never been, protect us from what may be, but if it fails, it could kill us all."
