In a positive review for AllMusic, Heather Phares praised the album's diversity and aesthetic: "Vintage Future is one of the Intelligence's most focused albums, and their most clever and satisfying music in some time."{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/vintage-future-mw0002865844|title=Vintage Future - The Intelligence |work=Allmusic| publisher= |date=|accessdate=April 7, 2016}} In another positive review for The A.V. Club, David Anthony wrote: "The record is an amalgam of classic sounds updated for the modern era. At times it’s easy to see the influence of Devo or The Stooges, but it even bears a passing resemblance to some of Denton, Texas’ garage-punk greats."{{cite web|url=http://www.avclub.com/article/intelligence-brings-classic-sounds-present-vintage-225515|title=The Intelligence brings classic sounds to the present on Vintage Future |work=The A.V.
