[9] Eric Hill of Exclaim! commented that "Own Your Ghost wins with a rare combination of velocity and depth to track and tackle these troubled times." [6] Mary Kosearas of Filter gave the album a rating of 81%, stating: "Ten tracks mixed with complex beats and sharp vocals gradually mature into a harmony of both fresh and electronically manipulated sounds." [7]
