Mordechai has a score of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on 16 reviews. [2] Dylan Barnabe of Exclaim! reviewed Mordechai is an ode to all that Khruangbin have achieved and a look forward to everything that is to come. [6] Sophia Ordaz of Slant Magazine said "While past Khruangbin albums risked coming off merely as studied tributes to the microcosms of Thai and Iranian rock, Mordechai finds Khruangbin coming into their own, thanks to the band’s lyrical development and the honing of their fusion of intercontinental influences."
