At Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Multiply received an average score of 84% based on 24 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [2]
Jonathan Keefe, writing for Slant, praised the album's mixture of classic soul and modern dance music while commenting on its departure from Warp's usual sound, saying "It’s hard to imagine what Warp’s post-IDM demographic might make of Multiply, but it’s an album fully deserving of finding a massive fanbase across multiple genres of more mainstream pop." [10]
Mark Pytlik wrote a similarly positive review for Pitchfork, stating that "Multiply represents Lidell's dramatic transformation from a knob-twiddling laptopper to a red-blooded soul singer." [8] Additionally, Pitchfork placed it at number 189 on its list of top 200 albums of the 2000s, calling it "a remarkable statement made by a remarkable artist." [14]

The collaboration emerged in 1998 when the two producers began sharing the same studio in Brighton and soon began creating music together. Their initial work together produced the songs "Under My Nose" and "Darn ", both included on the album, but believing them to be too stylistically orthodox, the duo pursued a more distinctive sound for the remaining material.
