Critical reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Thom Jurek wrote "This is not a remarkable album by any stretch, although its packaging is — it contains a punch-out mobile as a booklet — but it is a further step in the development of a singular and ever elusive artist who possesses a truckload of talent, but is still unsure of which direction to head to realize it all."[1] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly called it King's most "sophisticated release yet."[4]
