    The problem is that this music, heard purely as a piece of product rather than as part of a wider performance with site-specific logic, leaves the listener with too much time in which to speculate what wider agenda the group may be spinning. [May 2018, p.54]

    Without the installation, Dimensional People feels a bit 2D. There’s a piece of the conceptual puzzle just out of reach, and I’m not really sure what to do with all the other bits.

    It arrives at this whole in a sneaky way, and it manages to avoid feeling like a concept album, or like anything else Mouse on Mars, or anyone, have done.

    If there is a flaw, it is that some jams are more eventful than others, as seen on the busy but ultimately inconsequential Daylight and Tear To My Eye featuring Eric D Clark and Beirut‘s Zach Condon, but this is something of an occupational hazard and the creative spirit is clearly heard throughout.

    Dimensional People wants to be a major rap album, complete with cameos stacked way high, all epic and prodigal. But it’s just not all there.

    Dimensional People III is the key. Its multi-layered ambience is indicative of the record as a whole and it serves to highlight this duo's zest for reinvention. [Jun 2018, p.113]

    Rather than a showcase for their collaborators, however, MOM take the greatest of liberties with these sound sources, fragmenting and processing them into unrecognizable forms, and even occasionally playing them straight. [May 2018, p.

    It is the weirder, wilder, experimental material that makes this a significant new career benchmark for the German duo, their boldest and possibly best album so far. [May 2018, p.32]

    Dimensional People is a refreshing release for a group who have proven that their musical prowess is as boundless as the soundscapes they create. [Mar-May 2018, p.57]

    A dizzying array of sounds and vocals that probably would have come off as a sonic mess if not for Mouse on Mars' crystalline vision.
