In a 2003 feature, the webzine "Pitchfork" placed "94 Diskont" at number 47 on its list of the top 100 albums of the 1990s. Mark Richardson of "Pitchfork" declared, "Sounds appear as multi-layer holograms, with both sources and ghosted copies simultaneously vying for attention, a piece of sonic trickery used to create some of the most serene and aquatic music of the '90s." Richardson would later state in a 2016 piece that "94 Diskont" "was the first sound of a new future". In 2016, "Pitchfork" named "94 Diskont" the seventh best ambient album of all time.
