Style and reception

Matthias Olejnik from metal.de says: "Without grandiose sounds, widescreen jingles and distorting jingling, MOGWAI have created an album that [sic!] Is absolutely coherent and just offers perfectly played and arranged, open-hearted post-rock." Heather Phares von Allmusic describes the album as subtle and structured, at times graceful and emotional. It awards four out of five stars. Rolling Stone's Bob Sheffield still thinks the band is resourceful even after 16 years. The eclipsed magazine picked Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will. in his list of the 150 most important prog albums.
