Marc Weingarten of Entertainment Weekly described Autoditacker as "a messy mosaic of trills, chirps, and buzzing sounds that slam headfirst into dense, abstract, and occasionally danceable grooves." [4] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said, "Each listen reveals new layers of the group's intricate arrangements, and the shifting instrumentation and themes recall the best adventurous jazz in terms of unpredictability." [1]
In 2017, Pitchfork placed Autoditacker at number 18 on its list of "The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time". [9]
