Critical reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 74, based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Brian Howe of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.0 out of 10, saying: "It's still a neat project with many moments of interest, but it's disappointing that the second album doesn't cohere overall any better than the first." Eric Hill of Exclaim! commented that "Own Your Ghost wins with a rare combination of velocity and depth to track and tackle these troubled times." Mary Kosearas of Filter gave the album a rating of 81%, stating: "Ten tracks mixed with complex beats and sharp vocals gradually mature into a harmony of both fresh and electronically manipulated sounds."

Cokemachineglow named it the 42nd best album of 2011.[3]
