Ned Raggett of AllMusic says "Babyland kicks in its third release very much following its established path from previous releases, but not shirking from tweaks and changes that Dan and Smith find them necessary." The critic went on to say "the duo's musical relationship was perhaps even stronger than before, bolstered by the years of performing together, which resulted in some fascinating, gripping new songs." [1] Black Monday praised the album for showcasing the band's artistic growth and said "Babyland's style successfully blends elements of punk, techno, industrial/noise, and now even a little hip hop." [2] Sonic Boom gave the album a mixed reception and said "audience ends up feeling restricted by the single channel of exchange and much of the message is lost in the translation." [3]
