Writing for The Guardian, Ben Beaumont-Thomas called the album "a triumph of impressionism, where the digital and organic coexist in a radically beautiful whole." In his review for AllMusic, Paul Simpson described Dust as, "very disorienting and not always easy to grasp hold of, but it never comes close to sounding like anything else, and its best moments are highly compelling."Tiny Mix Tapes called the album "a remarkable accumulation of disruptions and attachments, gaseous parts and shifting centres," and described its tracks as "coherent in their incoherence, playful in their experimentalism."
