Critical reception
This release on Suede's Nude Records drew favourable comparisons to the band: AllMusic called Rooms "every bit as elegant, grand and enchanting as the glam revivalists Dog Man Star."[3] while the NME recalled their "idiosyncratic, atmospheric sound straddled a rich range of styles."[4]
