Critical reception
PopMatters called the album "yet another extraordinary piece of work that raises the proverbial bar once again ... this isn’t just experimental; it’s genuinely catchy."[1] The Village Voice wrote: "Diotima is the kind of album that requires multiple listens, possibly alternating between headphones and speakers, to absorb. Assaultive at first, it gradually blooms: The guitar lines separate, and the intricate ebb and flow of the rhythm section (Weinstein and bassist Nick McMaster, who joined after the debut) becomes more and more clear."[7]
