Critical reception

Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Ali Shutler reviewed all five simultaneous releases by Sault and gave them a collective four out of five stars, praising Untitled (God) as "the best of a brilliant batch, with the Little Simz-featuring Free an obvious highlight".[2] In an overview of the best music of the week on All Songs Considered, NPR called the five releases "as sonically diverse as they are ambitious in their breadth and scale".[5] Damien Morris of The Observer reviewed all five albums and scored them five stars, noting that "anyone can find their own five-star classic among these 56 songs" and summing up that "it’s clear that these albums are an act of supreme generosity, not indulgent superfluity".[6] Writing for Gigwise, Luke Winstanley called the collective releases "an absurd achievement" and scored this album seven out of 10, saying that while it "feels somewhat bloated, lacking the consistency of the aforementioned records", "there are enough moments of genius to make it worth your time".[1]
