  1. The A.V. Club

    It doesn't sound substantially different from what Pollard has done before... but the record cycles through Pollard's disparate influences in songs as charged-up and fully realized as anything he's delivered in maybe a decade.
  2. All Music Guide
    90
    From a Compound Eye winds up standing apart from the pack of Pollard projects even if it doesn't stand that far apart.
  3. Uncut

    As ever: endlessly clever, utterly inessential. [Feb 2006, p.81]
