According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Infinite Health received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 72 out of 100 from 4 critic scores.[4]
Tom Morgan of Clash described the album as "a sharply-constructed and engrossing (if lightweight) exercise in sun-flecked, gentle electronica."[9] He added, "The vibes are magical, the emotions are nourishing, without ever being too palpable, and the images it conjures make you see the world in a better light."[9] Dylan Barnabe of Exclaim! commented that "The return to a more electronic-based production style is a welcome homecoming, allowing every pluck of the guitar and gentle synth stroke to speak for itself."[5] Paul Simpson of AllMusic stated, "Containing some of Tycho's most uptempo material, Infinite Health focuses on rhythm, paying special attention to breakbeat-like choppy drums."[8]
