AllMusic wrote: "Electro beats and trippy electronic sounds conspire with weird vocal loops and other effects to make some of the most psychedelic dance music since early Funkadelic." Exclaim! noted that "the key to Psychic TV is the nuances in the aural distance of the sound field; it (whatever lies deep within there) is what alters your brain chemistry and causes you to relax in the long run."
