Reception

Brian Howe of Pitchfork Media said: "It's still a neat project with many moments of interest, but it's disappointing that the second album doesn't cohere overall any better than the first."[7] Meanwhile, James Atherton of Drowned in Sound said: "Whether Own Your Ghost cheats the concept it’s chosen or fades into obscurity, it’s impossible not to admire the dedication and commitment to an aesthetic that both parties clearly believe in."[4]
