AllMusic[1]

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Eduardo Rivadavia wrote of the album, "no matter how hard it tries to be eclectic, Withdrawal Method never once breaks into truly uncharted territory, and if not for the haunting innocence of Alice Cohen's girlish croons, there'd be nothing memorable about the album."[1]
