Exai has received positive reviews, with a Metacritic average rating of 80 out of 100, based on reviews from 26 critics.[3] Grayson Currin of Pitchfork Media thought the album had some good moments, but was too long at two hours, and would have been improved by more editing and trimming.[10] Chris Power of BBC Music was more enthusiastic, calling the album Autechre's best in fifteen years.[5]
