| The A.V. Club | Positive[2] |
In a positive review for AllMusic, Heather Phares praised the album's diversity and aesthetic: "Vintage Future is one of the Intelligence's most focused albums, and their most clever and satisfying music in some time."[1] In another positive review for The A.V. Club, David Anthony wrote: "The record is an amalgam of classic sounds updated for the modern era. At times it’s easy to see the influence of Devo or The Stooges, but it even bares a passing resemblance to some of Denton, Texas’ garage-punk greats."[2]
