Reception
The album was met with generally positive reviews. About.com gave it a 4 out of 5 star stating that, "vocalist Shana Halligan and producer/composer Kiran Shahani, the Los Angeles duo known as Bitter:Sweet, have produced a perfectly pleasant bossa nova/electro-pop record," but criticizing the album's similarity with Morcheeba, Portishead, Zero 7, and Goldfrapp. Blogcritics also gave it a good review and asked "what else would you name something that makes beautiful music tinged with a slow seductive shade of melancholy?" Allmusic's editorial review gave the album 3.5 stars, stating "it all adds up to an album that captivates not by virtue of real originality, but by combining familiar elements in consistently enjoyable ways."
