Critical reception

Alternate/Endings was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 79 based on eleven reviews.
Daryl Keating of Exclaim! praised the album, stating: "realistically, Alternate/Endings is not for everyone, but anyone who's intrigued by the dark and unconventional side of things--or thinks that jungle needs a new platform--will devour this album". Chase Woodruff of Slant magazine found the album "succeeds in leaving you both exhausted and anxious for more". Andrew Hannah of The Line of Best Fit wrote: "Alternate/Endings is never a relaxing listen; when the breakneck pace drops, it's only replaced by an unsettling calm, and one that doesn't last very long". Andrew Gaerig of Pitchfork called it "tempting, smart, and raw enough to make me wish he'd set up camp somewhere more permanent".
