AllMusic[1]

Aiding & Abetting called "Melt "inconsistent" and "for every decent gothic pop bit like Neuroactive's "Obsession" there's at least one song that just doesn't work."[2] AllMusic awarded the collection two and a half out of five stars and said "Melt culls releases from the Scandinavian-based label Cyberware Records, whose roster of artists runs the gamut from industrial to techno to ambient."[1] Sonic Boom noted that "the first half of the compilation consists of more popular EBM style electro with the music slowly transitioning to darkwave instrumentals of a more experimental nature as the album progresses."[3]
