"REDUXER is alt-J's fourth full-length release, a collection of reinterpretations of the songs from their successful third album RELAXER ... It feels unfair to judge REDUXER as an album proper, but it is a credit to the band and the producers and artists that they have worked with that it comes close to justifying that. There are highlights throughout, with almost all tracks retaining a sense of originality".

"Overall, Reduxer is as pleasantly surprising as it is satisfying, offering an exciting counterpart for fans of Relaxer, while providing 11 fresh reasons to appreciate the original incarnations for those who might be less familiar".

"Last year, I wrote about my disappointment in the source material for this remix LP - Alt-J's third album proper, RELAXER. Happily, REDUXER re-imagines that record as a globally infused hip-hop post-op cut of the eight originals, plus three further versions of "3WW", "In Cold Blood" and "Hit Me Like That Snare" to breathe life and reflect better on the prototype ... The material feels stretched if you look at the numbers, but the band do consistently produce the goods".
