Critical reception

Exclaim! called The Geometrid "a beautiful, modern pop record."[9] The Guardian deemed it "a collection of shabbily produced electro-indie ditties hamstrung by half-hearted vocals and laughably leaden beats."[10] The Cleveland Scene considered it "a fascinating blend of techno beats with the warmth and invitation of a purer and more populist brand of pop music."[11]
