The Eraser Rmxs received mixed reviews from music critics, with most viewing the release as unnecessary. Resident Advisor's Daniel Bates said "These nine reworks presented a chance to make amends, but most of the remixers seem to have fallen into the same habit Yorke did: playing it safe", though praised the remixes of "Harrowdown Hill" and "Analyse". [9] Jory Spadea of Spectrum Culture viewed the album as superfluous and inferior to its parent album, but singled out Four Tet's folktronica remix of "Atoms For Peace" for possibly outshining the original with its "Radiohead-like climax". [2] [9] Ryan Domball of Pitchfork was more positive overall, complimenting the collection's hopeful tone and especially Burial's remix of "And It Rained All Night", saying "Yorke's voice suits Burial's soupy concoctions just as nicely as those mysterious R&B divas he's usually fond of-- if this team ever decided to meet on an LP level, few would oppose." [3]
