Critical reception
"Extraterrestrial" was well received by most critics, with most complimenting the song's mix of dubstep and trap, sound design, and production. Molly Hankins of Nest HQ praised the song's sound design and production, calling it "refined and tactile" and writing that it is "so metallic and simultaneously gooey that the reverberation has an edge to it throughout", finalising her review by saying that "if you’re going to release a trap slapper, bass-beast, or dubstep mind-melter, when it comes to sound design, this is the sonic calibre to beat."[9] Writing for EDM.com, Miljan Milekic wrote that the song showcased both artist's "skill and successfully combining trap and dubstep, their delivered a track that will bug your mind in months to come."[1] ThisSongSlaps' Brian Bonavoglia noted the song as one that mixes dubstep and trap in "mind-numbing fashion", calling the song a beast that "showcases their production prowess once again solidifying those claims."[2]
