Critical reception
Enigmatic Society was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic,which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications,the album received an average score of 70 based on five reviews. [1]
Robin Murray of Clash praised the album,saying "finessed and unified,Enigmatic Society is magnificent,a micro-masterpiece that refuses to be pigeonholed. Free-thinking yet direct,it's a salute to collaborative art,and the geniuses behind it". [3] Kate Hutchinson of The Observer stated:"while many mainstream acts lean on jazzists to lend some flair,it's rare that it goes the other way. But Dinner Party bring serious chops to contemporary music's top table". [5] Ben Cardew of Pitchfork resumed:"the whole is stronger than the sum of its parts". [4] AllMusic's Andy Kellman found it "neither as powerful nor as weighty as the debut,and certainly doesn't seem intended to match it in those regards. It's altogether a calmer,more romantic work". [2]
In the mixed review for The Wire ,the critic concluded:"this is pleasant but forgettable music,dissolving the instant it hits the eardrum".
