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." 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."
