Upon release, Wild Light received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 82/100 based on 12 reviews. [2]

"The pomp that they derive from taking dour post-rock to a rave - notable here in Prisms - is satisfying," according to Q . "Similarly enjoyable are pyroclastic flows of guitars and electronics as heard in Unmake the Wild Light," concludes reviewer Luke Turner, giving the album a 3/5 rating. [6]
