Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor commented that "Coverdale's interests in classical and experimental electronic approaches have tended to exist in separate spheres." He added, "On Grafts, she brings them together beautifully." Thea Ballard of Pitchfork stated, "With Grafts, Coverdale seems to propose a decidedly agnostic vision of what devotional electronics could mean in our contemporary moment, folding a natural awareness of technology's forms into music that feels insistently about being present."
In 2019, Tiny Mix Tapes placed Grafts at number 99 on its list of the "Favorite 100 Music Releases of the Decade".
