Arrangements received positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 72, based on four reviews, indicating "general favorable reviews". [2] Writing for Beats Per Minute , John Amen gave the album a rating of 77% and commented that "...what distinguishes Preoccupations from many of their postpunk peers is not so much a distinct take on the usual sources – Joy Division, Bauhaus, The Cure, et al – but a more subtle and career-long affinity with such bands as Sonic Youth, Swans, and Sunn O))). That is, Preoccupations’ brand of postpunk is denser, grittier, and more panoramic than the versions produced by many of their contemporaries." [11]
