Critical reception

Chris Ingold of MusicOMH commented that "this is an album to stick on your iPod as you walk through Manhattan at night, even if it's a pretend Manhattan in your home town miles away." Jason Crock of Pitchfork wrote, "Downtown Science could have been a sleek limousine ride through Blockhead's version of New York, but we'll have to settle for an appropriately funky cab ride."
