Reception
''Quasi-Objects'' has received mixed reviews from music critics.
AllMusic's Sean Cooper called the album "both an improvement
self-titled debut">n Matmos'
self-titled debutand a disappointment", with the musicians letting "the schtick of let's-make-tracks-entirely-out-of-weird-noises get the better of their aesthetic judgement."
Pitchfork Media's Mark Richard-San similarly described the album as "too reliant on novelty", and thought that its central gimmick "smothered the music."
