The album has been given particularly favourable reviews by critics,[6][7][8][9] many of whom consider it more melodic in texture than prior albums.[10][11]

The three interludes on the album were met with a generally more mixed reception;[3][12][13] "I"'s use of air horns has been singled out in particular due to their obscurity in the genre.[14]
