They are all solid examples of the band's unique blend of indie sweetness, psychedelic experimentation, and solid songcraft.

Spin
Their second B-sides compilation is a clear reflection of that indeliable good cheer. {May 2008, p.94]

PopMatters
Electronic Projects is ideal both for new listeners--as it offers a good representation of the Apples in Stereo sound--and for seasoned Apples fans who desire tracks they may not have heard before.

Paste Magazine
Screwed together with fuzz-tone bridges, rhymes scan monosyllabic even when they’re not, and are resolutely and nostalgically pre-postmodern in their references.

Magnet
As a fan-pitched compilation of b-sides and one-offs, it's a winner. [Summer 2008, p.100]

Pitchfork
There are a number of somewhat bland mid-tempo tracks and a few sketchy incidental things, like the ultra-brief vocal exercise 'Thank You Very Much,' but this is a worthy addition for Apples fans who haven't already tracked down every flexi-disc, Japanese import, and vinyl edition in the band's large catalog.

Uncut
There's some shrewd commercial nous behind their retro-wackiness. [Aug 2008, p.85]

Dusted Magazine
This is great for obsessive fans and for the remnants of the Elephant Six community, for with Electronic Projects they can get a more complete picture of the band. But why make them pay for it?

There are admittedly a few throwaway one minute efforts dotted around the tracklist such as the piano and melodica-tinkle-tinged Thank You Very Much and The Oasis, but luckily the highlights far outweigh them.

NOW Magazine
For the most part, this collection is a great addition to the band’s oeuvre.
