Reviews

AllMusic described the album's style as "an opulent, full-bodied sound; aided by a broader palette of rhythms and starring roles from male and female vocalists," concluding that it "only cements the man's status as some sort of Nordic deity."[6] Pitchfork stated that following its predecessor, the album "continues the experiment, and in general improves on it," while also noting cautiously that the vocals are "reminiscent of thousands of faceless lounge and downtempo compilations featuring "soulful divas" and androgynous emoting."[3]
