Critical reception
Writing for blog Miojo Indie, Fernanda Blammer gave the album a positive review, rating it with a 7 out of 10. She praised Skylab X as being "peculiar and eccentric" and "atmospheric", but criticized it for being "less anarchic and aggressive, and more 'well-behaved' than Skylab's previous releases, particularly if compared to the classics Skylab III and Skylab VI".[http://miojoindie.com.br/disco-skylab-x-rogerio-skylab/ Disco: "Skylab X", Rogério Skylab - Miojo Indie] {{in lang|pt}}
