Kjetil Wold of Stavanger aftenblad noted that "Ugress make music for the ears and eyes. Ugress makes music you run your own inner short films to — the band's music is downright cinematic. In this sense, "Cinematronics" is a good title. Ugress works best in the lingering and slowly crawling songs - such as "Bad dreams come true" with its mix of both black and white crime noir, Gregorian chant and Arabic music."[3]
Morten Schwarz Lausten of Gaffa stated that "The concept sounds familiar: something resembling samples from movies (whether they're actually from films or not doesn't really matter for the immediate experience of the music...) layered over dragging beats of various kinds, and then supplemented with mood-setting soundscapes and programmed breakbeats."[6]
