Denise Benson of Exclaim! wrote, "Few contemporary producers have been able to carve such a distinctive sound while remaining so fluid and open, yet Herbert seems to do so effortlessly." [7] Mark Richardson of Pitchfork complimented "Herbert's imperialistic way with the source material", [3] and Andy Battaglia of The A.V. Club said, "Herbert is an idea man who brings theory out of its studious back rooms and into a realm equally suited for home listening and smile-widening club revelry." [1]
John Bush of AllMusic praised Herbert as "the most inventive remixer active", while also stating, "For better, but occasionally for worse, virtually all of these tracks are immediately recognizable as Herbert productions; the point-perfect beats, quick bassline fills, and his use of split-second samples and crackly vocals to drive the tracks sound more like a formula than a blueprint after several soundalikes come one after another."
