"The restless UK electronic musician sets aside prior experiments in spliced soul and finger-picking folk-glitch in favor of foggy ambient atmospheres that are both soothing and haunting ... The album's release is well-timed: The autumn chill and gray light that accompany the end of the year are conducive to ambient music and self-reflection. In a year in need of centering and a sense of calm, Phantom Brickworks lives up to its name; it feels haunted while also offering up a hope to rebuild".

"With Phantom Brickworks Bibio has not only created a record that stands apart from his other Warp albums to date, but has cemented his mastery of the atmospheric; creating an album that can imprint on a listeners' surroundings like few others. Prepare to have your evening commutes, autumnal wanderings and additional explorational opportunities transformed".

"Even though Bibio's Stephen Wilkinson has evoked many places and states of mind with his music, from Vignetting the Compost's rural charm to Ambivalence Avenue's citified eclecticism, there hasn't been anything quite like the hypnotic realm of Phantom Brickworks ... Hushed yet haunting, Phantom Brickworks offers a beautiful new perspective on Bibio's music".
