3D Country received a score of 78 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on six critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. [7] Reviewing the album for Rolling Stone , Ian Blau wrote that "for the most part, every detour they take leads somewhere interesting" and that the band have "delivered one of the better New York rock albums of the past few years, taking hand-me-down sounds and twisting them in ways only they could imagine". [12] Tilly Foulkes of NME described the album as "a cynical take on Americana in the age of an imminent climate crisis – one that proves Geese to be a genuine tour-de-force". [5]
Will Yarbrough of The Line of Best Fit remarked that "Geese do everything they can to avoid comparison, venturing into cosmic country, electro-funk and apocalyptic boogaloo with reckless abandon. There's never a dull moment." [10] DIY 's James Hickey found that Geese have "abandoned their previous sonic palette in pursuit of pure experimentation" and while "there are traces of the discordant post-punk they are known for, [...] this time [it is] far removed from any cliche of the modern genre". [9] Brady Gerber of Pitchfork opined that there is "a newfound emphasis on dynamics and space" and Geese "evolves from its gritty post-punk origins into a proudly outrageous jam band". Gerber concluded that while "their influences are all over the map, it's encouraging to hear Geese getting more comfortable sounding like themselves". [4]
Matt Mitchell of Paste called it "at once theatrical, vicious, heartfelt and daring", "a brilliant, miraculous assemblage of stone cold rock 'n' roll" as well as an "ambitious, intricate and far-ranging LP of seismic proportions". [11] Tim Sentz of Beats Per Minute pointed out 3D Country's "unpredictability and oddball choices", writing that the band "experiment with the formula admirably, testing their genre-bending capabilities throughout but always furnishing each deviation with warm harmonies", and summarizing it as "a fun album, and it gives the band a more definable personality – even if it's bonkers".
