Pitchfork Media(8.0/10)[3]

Pitchfork praised the record and the band's ability to "venture further outside their 60s influences to create a spacious, hypnotic album that distinguishes them from their stoner- and psych-rock contemporaries."[3]

In 2019 the album was reissued on CD and LP by Tekeli-li Records, and accompanied by a bonus CD featuring alternate takes, unreleased tracks and instrumental demos.[4][5]
