Sam Wiseman of The Skinny gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, commenting that "Sam Baker's Album works within a fairly narrow set of methodological constraints, but within those, it demonstrates impressive ingenuity." Laurent Fintoni of Fact described it as "the best possible showcase of Samiyam's incredible talent when it comes to swung, synth-heavy music production."
