Mark Pytlik of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "an admirable reinvention that should indoctrinate [Edgar] Farinas into the new school of bleeding-edge underground hip-hop producers." Rollie Pemberton of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.2 out of 10, saying: "Surrounded by the highly polished sample fests of RJD2 and the ridiculously technical chop-a-thons of Prefuse 73, Push Button Objects is lost in the fold, regardless of his clear production prowess." Todd Hutlock of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of C+, writing: "Mostly, I found myself wishing that Farinas would just make separate rap and instrumental albums next time out."
It was ranked at number 19 on the CMJ "Hip-Hop 2003" chart.{{cite journal|title=Hip-Hop Charts 2003: The Year in Review - Hip-Hop 2003 (Covering 1/7/2003 to 12/9/2003)|journal=CMJ New Music Report|date=December 29, 2003|issue=846|page=20}}
