Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the EP a four star rating, praising "Donkey Rhubarb" for its "lovely main melody dressed up with quick beats, bleeps, and the like". Raggett declared that a surprise was Phillip Glass' version of "Icct Hedral", stating that "the original's chilly melody made even more serenely beautiful and disturbing all at once thanks to Glass' fine orchestration".
