Tim Sendra of AllMusic stated in his review of the album "Heard Noises ranks right near the top, and if the sun hits it just right and one squints a little, it might be sitting merrily atop the very summit." [2] Louder Than War gave it a rating of 4.5 out of 5, describing it as a "nice piece of magic to end the polymath's latest statement of intent into complex music yet simple to the ears." [5] Record Collector called Heard Noises "arguably his best album yet" and rated it four out of five. [6] BrooklynVegan referred to the album as "another groovy psych-pop gem", calling it a "A Matt Berry Primer". [1]
