United received generally positive reviews from critics. Catherine Bromley of The List gave the album a perfect score, praising the album's diverse sound over the sound of "the Gallic house propagated by their contemporaries". [9] Pitchfork gave the album an 8.6 out of 10, calling it "one of the most confoundingly brilliant debuts of the year, the type of album that thwarts expectations while affirming music's overwhelming capacity to amaze." [10] Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic called it "an uncanny yet earnest showcase of what makes pop/rock pop without the gaudy trendiness that now makes the 1980s seem so distasteful." [11]
According to Virgin France, as of April 2004, the album has shipped 150,000 units worldwide. [12]
