Resident Advisor[3]

Resident Advisor noted a number of "brave new directions displayed here" and wrote that the duo "refuse to lean on the midrange bassline or any kind of half-step drum pattern and they never, ever, stop experimenting."[3] In comparison with the duo's Maybes EP, Sketch on Glass was described by Pitchfork Media as "markedly funkier but also feels more self-assured and detailed: The bass is deeper but the sound is lighter and more agile; the plinks and pops-- sorta cute-- really ricochet around in the mix instead of just accenting it; the vocal samples are warped and flattened in weirder ways."[2] XLR8R wrote that in comparison to their previous EP, the work moves "into funkier waters, employing a more colorful and playful palette of sounds.[4] Fact Magazine described it as "another EP of inventiveness and creativity, but this time with more of a focus on bass and groove."[1]
