Critical reception

The Chicago Tribune wrote that Seam "distills its no-frills guitar rock into a tight collection of creeper melodies and haunting ruminations on who-knows-what that are nonetheless emotionally resonant."^[6] The Sunday Times thought that "while tiny fragments of noise circle the peripheries of 'Little Chang' and 'The Prizefighters', there's always a moment when the weirdness coalesces into an irresistible rock riff."^[7]
