On
Metacritic, the album received an aggregate score of 76 out of 100 from five reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. Christopher Hamilton-Peach of
The Line of Best Fit rated the album eight out of 10 and felt that "summer dancefloor hits carouse with the meticulously mercurial" on the album, summarising it as "a collection that future-proofs Kavinsky's curation of high-end production, addictive earworms and cinematic scope". Writing for
Clash, Gem Stokes also gave the album eight out of 10 and called it a "futuristic" mix of
synthwave and "youthful, cinematic" influences, concluding that "the album shines bright with promise for [Kavinsky's] futuristic vista". Ana Leorne of
Beats Per Minute opined that Kavinsky's
retrofuturism "remains as fresh and relevant as ever" and found its tracks to be "insanely cohesive both in terms of writing and production", although "not as simple variations of a same theme but instead as intricate internal dialogues". Thomas Smith, reviewing the album for
NME, wrote that while the album "carries the air of a more relaxed creator", "Trigger" and "Renegade" are "as ambitious and futuristic as anything he's ever done". Giving the album three out of five stars, Smith felt that when Kavinsky "eases up on maximalism, the songs flourish and we see a different side to his production prowess". ==Track listing==
