Sarah H. Grant of Consequence of Sound gave the album a grade of B, saying: "Teengirl Fantasy's interpretation of dance-pop through a technical EDM filter recalls Sonic Youth's re-interpretation of hardcore punk through indie rock." Jayson Greene of Pitchfork Media said: "If Tracer has significant replay value, it's for the parsing of the details of its light-filled surface, for the sounds themselves."
