Allmusic's Tim DiGravina praised the album as "a charming return to basic songcraft and a collaboration that will hopefully bear more fruit in the future" in comparison with Nina Persson's previous work with the Cardigans.[3] The Guardian's Dave Simpson enthused that "this may well be Persson's best album", and called it "a major work, whatever it sells".[4] Yahoo's Josh Rogan had special praise for producer Mark Linkous, concluding that "Linkous has crafted an album that compliments Persson's songs and vision to great effect".[5]
