Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor gave the album a 4.0 out of 5, commenting that "Dibiase wisely avoids the schizophrenic channel-skipping to which his peers are so often prone, building tunes armed with an exacting focus, even when it seems like brilliant ideas are defiantly tossed off." Jacqueline Whatley of URB gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "In an hour of utter brilliance, Dibiase offers the world a taste of what exists on the innovative Los Angeles underground and an exciting idea of what is to come." Jeff Weiss of Los Angeles Times wrote, "Machines Hate Me represents the most complete and fully realized iteration of Dibiase's work."{{cite web|first=Jeff|last=Weiss|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/08/man-versus-machine-dibiase-premieres-first-single-from-machines-hate-me.html|title=Man versus machine: Dibiase premieres first single from 'Machines Hate Me'|work=Los Angeles Times|date=August 4, 2010|accessdate=October 20, 2013|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100910110714/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/08/man-versus-machine-dibiase-premieres-first-single-from-machines-hate-me.html|archivedate=September 10, 2010}}
