Reception

The album received mixed review from music critics. In their review, Baby Gil of The Philippine Star wrote, "Carbon Stereoxide finds the Eraserheads at the crossroads." They added that the album's guitar and drums, "get too loud in the wrong places at times, but take note, they are real", in comparison to band's style from the preceding album, Natin 99.

David Gonzales of AllMusic negatively criticized the follow up to the band's previous album Natin 99 as "another bewildering mess". While he considered the album's first two opening tracks ("Ultrasound" and "Maskara") as "good alternative rock songs", he pointed out that these songs will fail to appeal to a wide range of listeners. Gonzales dismissed most of the album as "pointless and meandering".
