| AllMusic |   [2] |
| Robert Christgau |  [3] |
| Pitchfork | 6.7/10[4] |
| Portland Mercury |  [5] |
Kingsley Marshall of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying, "The resultant aural complexity amounts to one of the tougher listening experiences to be found in the Mush catalog, but will offer endless joy to those in search of something advanced."[2] Brad Haywood of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.7 out of 10 and commented that "prescience and creativity give way to overkill and lack of execution on this one."[4] He added, "This one might even be worth owning just for its distinctiveness."[4] Julianne Shepherd of the Portland Mercury gave the album 3.5 stars out of 4, saying, "[T]he trippiness is enhanced by about seven vocal tracks on each song, making it sound like there's a lot of Radio-inactives on your headphones. Pyramidi is like looking at hiphop through a snowglobe, or without gravity."[5]
Track listing
