Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote of the album: "On the surface, it may seem like a departure for Ferry, but in the end, it's entirely of a piece with his body of work. True, it may not be a major album in the scheme of things, but it's easy to be seduced by its casual elegance."[2] Keith Phipps of The A.V. Club commented that "the results are both predictable and thrilling, musically tasteful but as emotionally raw as good manners will allow."[3]
