AllMusic[3]

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."[3] 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."[2]
