| Pitchfork | 7.3/10 [4] |
Scott Hreha of Pitchfork praised The Horror as "a solid reiteration of Rj's remarkable talent." [4] Sara Jayne Crow of XLR8R described the EP as "superlatively inhuman in its quality, much like RJD2's production skills". [5] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club said: "Ten tracks of decaying beauty and dirty elegance, The Horror reaffirms RJD2's standing as one of the most gifted and original producers in underground hip-hop." [6] PopMatters critic Dave Hamilton highlighted the instrumental tracks, which he felt "perfectly capture why Deadringer ended up on so many 'best of 2002' lists". [7]
