Reviewing the album in "Today", Kevin Mathews writes, ""Oscilla" is cutting-edge art that one can conceivably rock out to, which is no mean feat", awarding it full marks. Yeow Kai Chai gave the album four out of five stars, writing in "The Straits Times" that "Oscilla" "scans the deplorable state of the world, questions war and strife, and assesses the value of life. To that end, its restless, angular riffs cut and draw blood." Daniel Peters of "Bandwagon" observed the "politically-charged" dimension of "Oscilla", writing that the "elongated hypnotic rhythms akin to krautrock and a harsh post-punk intensity...establishes "Oscilla" as one of the most confrontational records we've heard all year."
