Critical reception

Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote, "A completely unique combination of beats, samples, and voice, Solex is insular and inventive, revealing an artist with a very personal kind of creativity." David Browne of Entertainment Weekly said, "The echoey, rattling, wind-tunnel music lends an even eerier power to her tales of obsessions both romantic and physical."

In 2015, Fact placed Solex vs. the Hitmeister at number 28 on its list of the best trip hop albums of all time.
