Reception

The album received generally favorable reviews from critics. Allmusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, describing it as being "as big and bright and misty as spring kicking in." Pitchfork gave it a 7.4 out of 10, explaining that "although everything about their surfaces could be considered soft, all of these songs boast remarkably strong bone structure." In a more mixed review, Maddy Costa of The Guardian gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, stating "but with all Quever's ambitions reserved for the interior texture of the songs, the surface can seem a touch precious and self-absorbed."
