Critical reception
Clash believes it "alternates between reflection and inspiration", concluding Ashcroft "doesn’t try to reinvent himself [...], rather distil what he’s always done best in his solo career, namely balance romantic devotion, spiritual searching, and flashes of rebellion, all delivered with a deftness of touch and that timeless voice." The Quietus opined that "You’d think someone who is a million different people from one day to the next would have more than a couple of ideas in that busy noggin of his."
