AllMusic[1]

All four of its tracks were re-released on the Oscillons from the Anti-Sun compilation.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote: "Digitally assembled from isolated studio elements, the aptly titled 'Miss Modular' is musique concrète pop, a bubbly yet plainly synthetic effort that walks the tightrope between art and artifice."[1]
