On Metacritic, which assigns a "weighted average" rating out of 100 from selected independent ratings and reviews from mainstream critics, the album received a score of 78 based on 11 reviews.[2] AllMusic said "The bulk of the album sounds like Television married Sparks and had a baby during London's swinging '60s and commented on the album's title track that as album closers go, it's a flute-filled, existential whopper and There really are spaces everywhere, and most would be better served if they were filled with Monochrome Set albums.[3]
