Critical reception

In its 4-star review, The Stranger called the album "four a.m. bedspin guitar music at its glorious best."[6] Tom Schulte, in AllMusic, wrote: "From the remote stretches of Canada's New Brunswick, Elevator vaults off on a tube-driven journey into inner space -- leave your inhibitions behind and get to know yourself."[7] Ben Rayner, in the Toronto Star, thought that "Vague Premonition is heavier and more thought-out than the off-the-cuff EPs White originally turned out alone as Elevator to Hell and, while as quiet/loud schizoid as the rest of his output, less prone to loose-limbed, jammy distractions than most of the Elevator recordings that followed, making it the most enjoyable in terms of short-burst journeys to the centre of one's mind."[8]
