Reception
The album was perceived as slicker and more pop-minded than Xymox's previous albums. Gavin Report proclaimed the album "a faultless offering of this clan of musicians we call Xymox". The Melody Maker observed in their review of the album that "They haven't entirely abandoned seamless, panoramic sweeps that characterized their first couple of releases on 4AD, and they still have a firm emotional grip, but now they work in a less gloomy space. Phoenix is full of surprises".
