Production
The album was created in Berlin and Bristol.[5] In a 2012 interview, Pinch recalled, "A lot of synth work. There's nice analogue warmth to it. We use this thing called the Culture Vulture a fair bit – it's a pre amp with a lovely tone, really warms things up. A lot of it is synth-led, rather than sample-based, just us seeing what works, I guess."[5]

Perspective
According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Pinch & Shackleton received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 84 out of 100 from 7 critic scores.[4]
Holly Dicker of Resident Advisor stated, "Percussive splay and mutative composition are the album's two greatest merits and maintain the momentum even in its most reductive moments like on 'Torn and Submerged' as it decomposes almost entirely into solitary drum and cymbal hits."[9] Rory Gibb of The Quietus praised "the compositional sophistication on display here."[10] He added, "Each track moves through several different iterations so subtly and skillfully it's easy for the transitions to pass a listener by."[10] Michael C. Walsh of The Phoenix commented that "This release functions as a fully realized product because it sounds like neither of their previous exports, with both artists scaling back on their hard-nosed tendencies."[7] Will Ryan of Beats Per Minute called the album "both artist's most accessible and perhaps best work."[6]
