Reception

The online magazine Sonic Boom had previously reviewed T.H.C.'s Consenting Guinea Pig and D!v!s!on #9's The True Creator, accusing the former for being "nothing altogether new or innovative"^[8] and the latter's "bland bass and percussion" of transforming the album into a "common collection of insipidly derivative material."^[9] Sonic Boom wrote a negative review for reINVENTION opERATION as well and said "in essence this eclectic collection of Drum'n'Bass, Trance, and other more experimental beat driven electronics, is no more than regurgitated music."^[10]
