  1. Drowned In Sound

    Diehard fans needn't worry that Autechre have diluted themselves in that respect, for Oversteps is still a challenging listen, and one which reveals endless layers of new detail with each spin. But it's also their most instantly rewarding – and arguably best--album to date.
  2. PopMatters
    90
    By shifting the focus from the percussion to the melodic elements, the complexity has simply been made more palatable.
  3. Uncut
    60
    Although Autechre;a futristic manifesto has remnianed largely static for tow decades, the xylophone massacre of "O=0" and trippy space-carnival collage "d-sho qub" provide welcome glimmers of pleasure and humour during an otherwise rigorously intellectual labraroery experiment. [Apr 2010, p.81]
