The album was well received by critics, with Allmusic saying "The record provides a brief snapshot of his turmoil during one of the most dejected times in his life and is delivered in a beautiful, brutally honest way, conveying more in one song than an interview could ever uncover."and the BBC saying "Keaton Henson isn’t a show-off, but with talent like this, he has every right to be."and Metacritic gave it an overall rating of 70 out of 100. He released his second album Birthdays in February 2013.
