Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, describing it as "a gently queasy blend of sounds and styles that manages to be tasteful and downright romantic without being airbrushed soul."[3] He wrote: "When the duo fully stretches its collage/sampling muscles, as on the title track, it can be quite breathtaking, a careful balance between chaos and atmospherics."[3]

Larry Flick of Billboard stated that the album "combines the sample-happy experimental sound of the electronic underground with traditional pop sounds."[8] Randall Roberts of CMJ New Music Monthly called it "slow, deep, sexy nighttime music, so richly recorded and alive with pleasure that only the extremely sexually repressed could not feel it down there."[9]
