John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 5 stars out of 5, saying, "The result of Hawtin's obvious labor of love is a mix album that manages to be simultaneously intense and moody, pummeling yet restrained."[1] Joshua Klein of The A.V. Club said, "even though his Detroit-indebted mix stays pretty subdued, it never gets boring."[4] Amanda Nowinski of Billboard called it "a pure testament to the artist's passionate and innovative DJ style."[2]
