Heather Phares of AllMusic said: "This may not be Mouse on Mars' most ambitious album, but it's among the group's most successful -- it's not at all difficult to feel a connection to this truly intelligent dance music." [3] Mark Richardson of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.1 out of 10, describing it as "Mouse on Mars' most conventional album" and "their most predictable in structure." [1] Meanwhile, Kareem Estefan of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of C+, saying: "Even if it doesn't advance from Idiology as much as its lengthy development might imply, Radical Connector proves that ten years into the game, Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma still have no intention to repeat themselves."
