Deep Cuts received critical acclaim. Danielle Brigham of Hot Press compared it to a "soundtrack to a futuristic film that was made in the '80s", saying that "the synths, the drum machines and even the vocals – are distinctly retro but always put to imaginative use." Karin's way of singing was described as "mix of subtlety and parody".[12]
Q included Deep Cuts at number 56 on their "Top 100 Albums of the 2000s" list in 2009.[citation needed]
In 2013, Swedish magazine Sonic placed the album at number four on their list of the "100 Best Swedish Albums Ever". The list was compiled by 150 musicians, journalists and music industry insiders.[19]
