Models was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 75, based on 4 reviews.[5]
Writing for Pitchfork, Daniel Bromfield said "Models is a cold, sad, wispy album whose songs are like ghosts trying to communicate their unfinished business, unable to puncture the barrier between their plane of existence and ours. The seven tracks on the UK producer's new album don't just deconstruct pop music; they obliterate it".[7]
