Perspective
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Echo Party received an average score of 71, based on 10 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[6]
Rick Anderson of AllMusic said, "you'll hear vintage hip-hop basslines, 808 beats, and exuberant '80s-style rapping interspersed with weirdness like chopped-up Latin rhythms and shout-outs to New York boroughs and zodiac signs."[7] Adam Kennedy of BBC called it "a production album over mere mixtape, one for the breakdancers, as well as appreciators of both forward-thinking and back-in-the-day craft."[1] Nate Patrin of Pitchfork commented that "if you've ever wanted to hear classic cuts from the dawn of hip hop turned into hallucinogenic setpieces that knock and clang like glitched-up King Tubby, Echo Party should justify whatever the hell it is Edan's been doing with his time over the past four years."[3]
Dave Segal of The Stranger included it on the "2009's Top Overlooked Releases" list.[12]
