Critical reception edit
AllMusic wrote that "for all of the record's cosmic glow, the recurring presence of steel guitar keeps the music rooted in terra firma, a paradox which makes the music that much more difficult to pinpoint in any single time or place."[2] Exclaim! thought that "people inclined to easy classifications will call this post-rock, but unlike the cold air of academia that enshrouds the likes of Tortoise, Japancakes’ music possesses the heart and warmth of the Georgia environs that birthed it."[5] Rolling Stone wrote that the album is "flecked with melodic nuance, subtle turns of phrase that enrich the music's lazy-river flow."[6]
