The album so far has a score of 67 out of 100 from Metacritic based on "generally favorable reviews".[1] Filter gave it a score of 74% and said that DiFranco "dives into a murkier, less-definable world that is part acoustic neo-soul, part spoken word and dreamier than you might imagine."[1] The A.V. Club gave it a positive review and stated that it "benefits from DiFranco's emphasis on spare shimmer, though it also perpetuates her recent tendency to let her songs languidly drift along, for better and for worse."[10] The New York Times also gave it a positive review and stated that "It's worth putting up with a few overbearing moments to hear someone so willing to take chances."[11] Billboard likewise gave the album a positive review and said it was "Characterized by production rawness--for better (the immediacy of the performance) and worse (traces of off-key harmonies)."[12]

Other reviews are pretty average, mixed, or negative: Q gave it three stars out of five and said of DiFranco, "The jazzy stylings are a mixed blessing... [but] her fans will not be disappointed."[1] Rolling Stone gave the album only two stars out of five and stated that the "awkward, improbable tendency goes unchecked, as does DiFranco's penchant for jarring arrangements."[7] E! Online gave it a D and called the album "so staccato and nonlinear, a sort of free-jazz version of rock with just too much going on and little worth hearing."[1]

The album reached #55 on the Australian ARIA albums chart in January 2004, and spent five weeks in the top 100.[13]
