Brad Haywood of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.7 out of 10, saying, "despite its shortcomings, Arrhythmia has plenty of appeal, particularly to the indie crowd, for whom progressivism is a badge of pride." Lisa Hageman of CMJ New Music Report said: "This album has been meticulously crafted down to the tiniest detail, rendering each track its own unique and complete experience."

Chicago Reader placed it at number 7 on the "Best Releases of 2002" list. In 2009, The Skinny included it on the "Warp Essentials" list.
