Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! gave the album a favorable review, noting that "Belgian producer Loden mixes hip-hop, electronica, drum & bass, glitch-hop, synth rock, '80s pop and anything else he can get his hands on, often moving from one style to another within a single track."[6] Brice Ezell of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, saying: "While part of the beauty of Busdriver's work is the challenge it presents, much of Beaus$Eros isn't really challenging but instead confused."[8]
