It was positively received by Allmusic, who stated "Mirah's sweetly expressive, breathy voice, that she inflects like Lucinda Williams and occasionally Juliana Hatfield, is intoxicatingly endearing, as are the electronic beats and textures she uses as deftly as she does a ukulele or acoustic guitar. Mirah is a rare musician who actually sounds dedicated to and confident in her art, and the byproduct is a fresh, liberating set of songs."[1]
