"PopMatters" Matt Cibula praised the inclusion of the second disc of previously released material, but stated that "the real gems are to be found on the new stuff" and called "LCD Soundsystem" "a great record." Rob Ortenzi of "Alternative Press" described "LCD Soundsystem" as "an album that will survive the fleeting tastes of cosmopolitan hipsters" and stated that "in two records' time, Murphy will be as respected as The Sugarhill Gang, Brian Eno and Suicide." "No Ripcord"s Ben Bollig said that the album had "all the makings of a modern classic" and that ""LCD Soundsystem" is knowing and knowledgeable, inspired and inspirational. Intellectual without being snotty, encyclopaedic yet accessible, it takes the seemingly stalled electro model and kick-starts it into outer space."
