Critical reception

edit

John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, writing, "Highlights abound, but this is definitely one for those used to the blend of heavy innovation and occasional inanity to be found on nearly every μ-Ziq record."[1] Matt Gonzales of PopMatters wrote, "Bilious Paths is further proof that μ-Ziq is an indisputable giant in the IDM world, even if few people can see him."[4]
