Critical reception

Chris Martins of The A.V. Club gave the EP a grade of A−, saying: "The only bummer comes with the realization that more than half the backing tracks are reduxed from Maniac Meat, but perhaps LA UTI is a bridge to something bigger." Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork gave the EP a 6.5 out of 10, saying: "It seems like a lot of the guests here are trying to out-weird the material they're delivering over, which is precisely why Rob Sonic's appearance on 'Lick the Witch' works so well."
