Allmusic awarded Unit:187 three out of five possible stars. [3] Fabryka Music Magazine lauded the album's dynamic presentation of noise in using a fusion of guitar and drum driven aggression with trance like music. [4] Black Monday credited the album's diverse range of emotions and said the band explore the "heart of a grinding aural firehouse, obliterating most watered-down "industrial" that has been flooding the market as of late." [5]
Aiding & Abetting gave Unit:187 a mixed reception, noting that the band's misdirection in experimentation leaves the music feeling dull but credited the album for comprising "nicely experimental industrial stuff that doesn't mind mixing it up with the heaviest of elements." [6] Sonic Boom praised the band's inventive approach to speed metal, describing them as "what may be the first electronic thrash outfit," but criticized the tone of the lyrics as hindering to the depth of the music. [7]
All tracks are written by Tod Law, John Morgan and Ashley Scribner.
