The Observer gave the album a positive review stating, "There's no volte-face here; chart-friendly electropop and retro soul predominate, and though there's variety in the mandolin strum of Rag Top Car and the title track's orchestral balladry, these are smooth gear changes rather than detours. Still, Shingai Shoniwa's vocals supply enough personality to elevate them above standard winebar fare." Caroline Sullivan of
The Guardian gave the album a positive review, calling it a "frothfest of colour and light, with a joyous disregard for genre boundaries, but almost zilch in the way of introspection. [...] The eclecticism of a record that flits from trad country (Ragtop Car) to bossa nova (Star) and indie-disco [...] would feel a bit scattergun if Shoniwa and guitarist Dan Smith weren't so obviously fans of each style they tackle. This isn't one of those albums that diddles around with multiple genres solely in the hope of expanding a band's fanbase." ==Singles==
