Chris Dahlen of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.4 out of 10, saying: "Each track sounds careful but chaotic, simple but extreme, as Dosh shines the spotlight on himself and then dissolves into a dozen layers of movement." He added: "More than a drum recital or a set of nice tunes, Dosh's debut is a showcase where he can craft meticulous tracks and then blitz them with spontaneousjoy." Dave Segal of East Bay Express said: "His self-titled debut albumserves as a calling card to procure work with hot vocalists or MCs seeking a crafty producer with unconventional skills to burn." He called it "a deft display of technical prowess that's begging for an adventurous singer or rapper."
