Critical reception.
Jem Aswad of "Variety" stated, "it's a masterfully created, produced and sequenced house-infused throwdown from one of the best DJs working today, the kind of rare album you could put on for a party and let play all the way through, and then play it again." Ammar Kalia of "The Guardian" described the album as "a sprawling odyssey that ranges from radio-friendly features to darker, bass-heavy tracks."
