Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album "lackluster," writing that it "adheres closely to the formula but fails to generate any sort of spark from it."[9] The Chicago Tribune called it the band's "most delicately engrossing work, its charms illustrated in tiny moments of bliss such as the ghostly, Jobim-like fade of 'The Colony Room' or the lush yet fragile orchestrations of 'Seemingly'."[10] SF Weekly deemed it "an unfortunate downtempo detour."[11]
