Critical reception

Martin Woodside of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "a mellow, moody instrumental collection comprised of sleepy soul and down-tempo funk."[2] He said, "The beats are crisp but light, and the vibe is extremely laid-back."[2] Paul Cooper of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.2 out of 10, saying, "Fat Jon is a conscientious and gifted producer with a talent for creating tracks that work on multiple levels simultaneously.[6] He said, "Wave Motion isn't an accessory or an alternative like so many instrumental albums; Wave Motion is a serious proposition and a statement not only of Fat Jon's studio abilities but also of his introspective aesthetic."[6]

gollark: Well, the meta fields are dubiously useful I guess, error reporting is useful if your implementation breaks, and the wildcard channel is designed to reduce required trust via giving everyone snooping powers equivalent to that of the person running the skynet server.
gollark: Perhaps there are other worthwhile features it lacks.
gollark: I should probably fix it to use modern™ asynchronous IO things on the backend, and to incorporate lessons from SPUDNET like "actually doing autoreconnect at all".
gollark: It was mostly used by the older node.js server I think?
gollark: I don't. I forgot I added that, actually.
