10 000 Hz Legend received generally less favourable reviews from critics than had their previous albums; however, Q listed 10 000 Hz Legend as one of the 50 best albums of 2001.[19] Most reviewers focused on the group's departure from the sound of 1998's Moon Safari, although the soundtrack album The Virgin Suicides (2000) had a similar mood and sound.

The American music website Stereogum takes its name from the lyrics of the song "Radio #1".[20]
