Albert Freeman of The Quietus commented that "Theo Parrish is a rare artist whose work is deeply connected with the past while remaining firmly trained on the future, and while American Intelligence will surely remain an outlier and the product of the unique mind that created it, his visionary ideas towards continuing to push music forwards, now, a decade ago, or for the foreseeable future, stand without serious doubt."[9] Paul Bowler of Record Collector stated, "for the most part, this is a work whose complex arrangements take time to reveal their riches."[7] Aaron Coultate of Resident Advisor wrote, "American Intelligence is not as easy to love as Parrish's best 12-inches," adding that "it's the next chapter for an artist who isn't interested in repeating himself."[8]
