Drowned in Sound| 8/10[4]
Record Collector| [5]

Stuart Huggett of The Quietus wrote that "even as a diversion from his lyrically focussed work, Lido adds to the developing picture of Hayman as a great chronicler of British life, present and past."[6] Clay Pipe of Record Collector wrote that "while navigating the stylistic gamut from pop-reggae to piano études, by way of uke strums and jelly-like slide guitar, Hayman forsakes ambient drift for recurring tunefulness, thus providing some continuity with his song-based work."[5]
