The Only She Chapters was released by Warp on April 25, 2011.[1] After the release of The Only She Chapters, his eighth album for Warp, the label informed Herren that it would not be releasing any more of his work, ending his relationship with the label.[2] Exclaim! stated that the release of The Only She Chapters alienated a large portion of Herren's fanbase. Herren stated that the album was him wanting to do something different and that he went through a stage in his career where he wanted to do something completely different, and that on "looking back at it, I should have just done it under a different name [laughs]. It really didn't make much sense now that I think about it, it's like 'Damn, I easily could've called this something else and let be its own thing,' because I feel like I unintentionally alienated a lot of my fans that just wanted to hear what I normally do as Prefuse. That, for me, is my biggest regret about it. It's not that I regret the music, I just should have catalogued it differently."[3]
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 68, interpreted as "generally favourable", based on 16 reviews.
