Relix called the album "12 deliciously weird, lo-fi keyboard pop tunes, with Hughes’ restrained vocals occasionally adorned by soulful backup vocals or muted horns."[9]PopMatters wrote that "Hughes’ vast spectrum of music knowledge is showcased all over this sound safari."[10]
An older version of the album with a different track order, minor differences to track intros/outros and one additional song was released in 2014 simultaneously with the albums XXOXOXX and OXOXOXOXOX as a 4 disc set.
