Allmusic[3]

Rick Anderson of allmusic gave Suture three out of five stars and said "highly recommended to fans of funky industrialism."[3] A critic for Ink 19 compared the collection favorably to Nitzer Ebb and praised the album for being "a fine slice of spiteful agit-dance, very familiar in a sense."[4] Lollipop Magazine deemed the material from 10 Ton Pressure to be the highlight of the compilation, saying "the three EP tracks are old school industrial, and worth a few spins, and for those into remixes of the band’s more popular/less interesting material, there're plenty of takes on a few of them here."[5]
