| AllMusic |   [4] |
Aiding & Abetting called Junk a "strident, brutal and ultimately beautiful work" and that "Shinjuku Filth has sonic construction (and reconstruction) down, and has ventured into a few previously unexplored territory here." [5] Jason Ankeny of AllMusic awarded the album three out of five stars and said "the music ranges from hard-body dance to more ambient soundscapes; the penultimate track is, of all things, a cover of the Split Enz chestnut "Log Cabin Fever." [4] Sonic Boom said "part of the musical allurement is derived from the fact for once a band with extensive musical training is now experimenting with some of the more popular electronic musical styles and as an end result is advancing the genre beyond the tunnel vision sights of some of the other premier electronic club bands." [6]
All music is composed by François Tétaz and Darrin Verhagen, except "Log Cabin Fever" by Neil Finn.
