John Eyles of BBC stated, "The sound of the guitars remains central, with a strong emphasis on the low end frequencies, other sounds being used primarily for shading and highlighting, to hold the listener's interest and attention."[3] He added, "The music sounds unforced and natural, giving it a soothing sense of calm."[3]
Peter Margasak of Chicago Reader named it the 25th best album of 2007.[8]
