AllMusic's Paul Simpson described the album as "a more fleshed-out expansion of her sound, incorporating more acoustic instrumentation as well as more complex choral harmonies."[3]

Rob Hughes of Uncut rated the album eight out of ten and stated, "Lucy Gooch's early life as a chorister feeds into Desert Window's beauteous soundscapes, looping her gentle soprano voice over gauzy layers of synths in a seamless shift of classical, ambient, jazz and dream-folk textures."[4]

The Line of Best Fit assigned a rating of seven out of ten to the album and described it as "a masterclass in atmospheric tension and release, a record that feels both ancient and contemporary, grounded and otherworldly."[1]
