At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 78, based on 17 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[2]
Kevin Lozano of Pitchfork Media praised the album, stating, "Her greatest talent remains her ability to transform minute-long songs into experiences that resemble hours of intimate and impressionistic conversation." Lozano continues, "Many of the songs ("Embody," "On the Lips," "Too Dark" and "Sleep Song") on the album have appeared in acoustic permutations in past work, and they make the leap seamlessly. Each are marvelously well-wrought trains of thought, cramming existential questions into the banality of everyday moments and finding something beatific even in the plainest of things."[7]
