In his review for Q, Dave Everley praised the album, saying it "underlines why its creators have continued to prosper long after so many of their late-'00s contemporaries have been lost to the waves."[21]

James McNair of Mojo gave the album a mixed review, praising "Black Bull", "Into the Surf", and "The Runner" but criticising the album's "brittle" production, writing, "For the first time in their career Foals sound like they are overreaching themselves a little."[17]
