As the truest 'Opheliac' I know, this album is my story from beginning to end. I didn't exactly name the album after her as much as I named it after myself. While the original Ophelia did indeed go 'mad', it was not primarily caused by her boyfriend knocking off her dad, but rather by not only Hamlet but also all the men in her life manipulating and pushing her to the point of no alternative. 'Opheliac' is word I childishly made up to explain the condition of a person having the characteristics of 'Ophelia' and the 'Ophelia' archetype.

The word Opheliac is derived from the character Ophelia from the Shakespeare play Hamlet. Greg Prato of AllMusic commented, 'It's easy to detect similarities at times between Autumn and such renowned female artists as Kate Bush and Tori Amos, but when you come across the electronic/symphonic 'Gothic Lolita' and the swirling 'Let the Record Show,' Autumn sheds her influences and finds her own original voice.' Alissa Ordabai of said of the album, 'Autumn’s voice is alternately sweetly pitch-perfect and ruggedly punky, mirroring perfectly the conflict between chaos and order that’s at the centre of her act', and, 'After all, under all of her grotesque buffoonery and a desire to shock hides a shrewd knack for writing a perfect pop song and vocal chops that can carry through and deliver any message she chooses – from deliberately neurotic to artfully vacuous.'
