Dan Kok from popmatters.com spoke highly of the album, saying “Sex & Food takes great inspiration from the heavily effected sounds of the ’60s and ’70s. The album glitters with Hendrix-esque guitar sounds; warbly chords and wailing crescendos. Nielson’s melodies are fuzzy and ethereal forcing the ear to bend to try and comprehend his lyrics. There are a few hints here and there of the old Unknown Mortal Orchestra with its straight ahead grooves and sharp, multi-layered guitar melodies. But more often than not the sound is a cacophony of effects pedals and mumbling vocal delivery used to great effect. The depth of the sound helps to enhance the cleaner, crisper moments and sheds light on the major ideas of the album.”
