Critical reception

The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide gave 5 four out of five stars, designating it the "Best of 2019", with reviewer Andy Kellman noting that "the highlights are numerous, equal in quantity to the approaches".[1] In The Guardian, Alexis Petridis reviewed both 5 and 7, giving them each five stars out of five, writing that both are "fantastic, walking an idiosyncratic path that zig-zags between ESG-esque post-punk funk, early 80s boogie and something approaching neo-soul, without ever really fitting into any of those categories or sounding like straightforward homage".[2]
