Critical reception

Brian Howe of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.0 out of 10, saying, "for the bulk of it, Alias stays behind the boards and Tarsier behind the mic, resulting in the most enjoyable music to which the producer's name has ever been attached."^[3] Meanwhile, Cameron MacDonald of XLR8R said, "no matter how many tricks Alias has up his sleeve, Tarsier's lullaby voice is not strong enough to carry this record."^[7] Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying: "The album is so close to being fantastic, and knowing the potential that exists is what makes it so frustrating when Brookland/Oaklyn comes up short."^[1]
