Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that the album "features Barlow in fine voice and exploring the catchy guitar rock that's marked his career."[8] Now wrote that "the grittier, guitar-heavy sound stands in contrast to "Natural One"'s slick hiphop slinkiness and One Part Lullaby’s multi-layered marriage of indie rock and electronica."[9]

In October 2009, the Homestar Runner Wiki discovered a music video for "Brand of Skin", animated by the Brothers Chaps, that had at one point existed in the files library of thoraxcorp.com, a non-Homestar Runner-related side project. The video was uploaded to Domino's official YouTube channel in 2011.
