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."<ref name=allmusic/> Joshua Klein of ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' said, "even though his Detroit-indebted mix stays pretty subdued, it never gets boring."<ref name=avclub/> Amanda Nowinski of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' called it "a pure testament to the artist's passionate and innovative DJ style."<ref name=billboard/>
