Critical reception

Planta was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 54 based on 18 reviews.

In a review for AllMusic, critic reviewer Matt Collar wrote: "Planta is a frothy, lightly experimental electro-pop outing that retains all of the band's fun, dance party energy. Planta features all of the old-school-sounding synths and drum machines CSS have built their sound around since their infectious 2006 debut, Cansei de Ser Sexy." Greg Inglis of DIY said: "Planta is the sound of a band rejuvenated, a diverse yet cohesive effort that tightens the sonic screws without losing any of the warmth and identity they've managed to create for themselves."
