Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Whereas Space Needle genuinely broke new ground with the eerie, distortion-drenched sound collages of their debut, they now seem a bizarre parody of themselves, liberally mixing several of the most self-indulgent musical genres—from free jazz to prog rock—into one overlong, soporific outing."[10] The Austin Chronicle thought that "Space Needle just can't seem to make up their mind about whether they want to be cacophonous feedback pushers or subtle purveyors of sweet melody."[4]
Spin deemed the album "a handful of pretty 'lullabies' encased in an infinitely longer handful of space rock instrumentals."[11]
