Jennifer Kelly of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, stating: "There are a handful of all-electronics cuts that showcase Fleischmann's skill with rhythm (he's trained as a drummer) and playful mood."^[4] Roque Strew of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.9 out of 10, writing: "All the way up to this most recent release, recorded in the wake of a friend's death, Fleischmann's subtly uplifting tunes have never lost the through-line of melancholy that winds back to his Morr Music debut, Pop Loops for Breakfast."^[3] He added, "Angst continues that upward curve of building complexity and nuance, owing no small debt to the chorus of new, colorful, delicate voices that, to take a phrase from his closing song, fill up Fleischmann's castles of memory."^[3] Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, commenting that "possibly one of his best qualities is simply how he uses his guest singers, especially Sweet William Van Ghost."^[2]
