Reception

Pitchfork's Raymond Cummings rated the album 6.9 out of 10, saying, "What’s most frustrating isn’t ultimately that Sky doesn’t make it beyond the stratosphere, but that some of these songs should go on longer; they need more space to stretch, breathe, expand into stranger, deeper realms". Relix correspondent Jesse Jarnow noted: "keyboardist Lin Culbertson and drummer Tom Surgal provide a lush and constantly shifting bed for Cline’s sweet Tom Verlaine/Duane Allman-y volume swells. On the album’s best pieces, the trio achieves three-dimensionality, percussion and keyboards and guitar melting in and out of one another to form abstruse landscapes with dancing horizons".
