In a positive review for Mojo, James McNair called Foreground Music a "garagey art-rock and fractured funk" album and further said that "the New Jersey-born Gallo brings fizzing zeal and a bounteous grab-bag of ideas, his songs’ hooks as striking as his idiosyncratic lyrics". McNair gave Foreground Music a four star rating. Peter Watts, writing for Uncut magazine gave the album a 7 out of 10 rating. Watts praised the eclectic mix of sounds on the album but said Gallo was at his best when "when occupying a place between the rawness of Jack White and lysergic drawl of Kevin Morby"
