editAt Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 81% based on 11 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[2]
John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Plaid returned in 2001 with an LP of tough machine music, closer to the melancholy beatbox style of their mid-'90s singles than the rangy, dynamic sound of 1999's Rest Proof Clockwork."[3] Malcolm Seymour III of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.6 out of 10, saying: "This album features some of their best work to date, but also some of their greatest failures."[5]
