AllMusic gave Diva X Machina 2 a two-and-a-half out of five possible stars. [8] A critic at Last Sigh Magazine called the collection "an important addition to have on hand for DJ's" and "an excellent addition to any CD collection as it portrays a wide variety of "industrial" sounds from the more mellow works of Ivoux to the hard hitting "slap in your face industrial" of Luxt." [9] Alex Steininger of In Music We Trust called the album a "a powerful, seductive breath of life that will allow you to never look at the originals in the same light again." [10] Sonic Boom said "once again COP International pulls together a collection of the female acts who pioneer the way we listen to electronic music" and "every track attempts to outperform its sisters are more often than not, succeeds."
