AllMusic[1]

AllMusic awarded Vane four out of five stars and said "for every more familiar Lycia element there's something extra -- more electronic noises, a playing down of the guitar in favor of other instruments, odd drum patterns -- to mitigate against any of this being simply the equivalent of outtakes from the main band's work."[1] I Die: You Die said "Vane was distinct from Lycia not so much in terms of instrumentation but intent; where contemporary records from the latter project were focused on finding a balance between lushness and severity, Bleak would largely forgo any sense of comfort for, well, bleakness."[2]
