Critical reception

Afternoon X was met with "universal acclaim" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 81, based on 7 reviews.
At Pitchfork, writer Maria Eberhart said: "Afternoon X embodies a lively sense of exploratory wonder.
